Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
defibrillator, consult your physician before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following
precautions:
•
ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches)
from the implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned
ON.
•
DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the
potential for interference.
•
Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable
medical device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device
with your implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
Driving Precautions
The use of wireless phones while driving may cause distraction.
Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on driving.

prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws and
regulations on the use of these products.
Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices While
Driving” section in this guide (or separate guide).

or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain dust, or metal powders.
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not
remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and
cause an explosion or fire.

Batteries & Chargers
Caution:
Improper treatment or use of batteries may present a
danger of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. For more
information, see the “battery use & safety” section in this guide.
Keep Your Mobile Device and Its Accessories Away From Small
Children
These products are not toys and may be hazardous to children. For
example:
•
A choking hazard may exist for small, detachable parts.
•
Improper use could result in loud sounds, possibly causing hearing
injury.
•
Improperly handled batteries could overheat and cause a burn.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass. This glass could
break if the product is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial
impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your
mobile device until the glass is replaced by a qualified service center.
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to flashing lights, such as when playing video games. These may
occur even if a person has never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family
history of such occurrences, please consult with your physician before
playing video games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on
your mobile device.
Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms
occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary
movements, or disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the screen
50
away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute
break every hour, and stop use if you are tired.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning:
Exposure to loud noise from any source for
extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The
louder the volume sound level, the less time is required
before your hearing could be affected. To protect
your hearing:
•
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high
volume.
•
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
•
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure
or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should
stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones and have
your hearing checked.

(in English only).
Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering
finger-written characters, you may experience occasional discomfort in
your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you
continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a
physician.
