Safety and usage information
95
Turn off the device in potentially explosive
environments
Do not use your device at refuelling points (service stations) or
near fuels or chemicals. Turn off your device whenever directed
by warning signs or instructions. Your device could cause
explosions or fire in and around fuel or chemical storage and
transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry flammable
liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment
as the device, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
While using your device, hold the device with a relaxed grip,
press the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the
number of keys you have to press (such as templates and
predictive text), and take frequent breaks.
•
Never dispose of batteries or devices in a fire. Follow all local
regulations when disposing of used batteries or devices.
•
Never place batteries or devices on or in heating devices,
such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may
explode when overheated.
•
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the
battery to high external pressure, which can lead to an
internal short circuit and overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile
devices and pacemakers to avoid potential interference,
as recommended by manufacturers and the independent
research group, Wireless Technology Research.
If you have any reason to suspect that your device is interfering
with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the device
immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker
or medical device for guidance.
