Safety Precautions

Read these simple guidelines. Failure to comply with
them may be dangerous or illegal. For more detailed
safety information, see “Safety Information” on page
xx.

Road safety comes first

Do not use a hand-held phone while driving; park the
vehicle first. Remember that in some countries, it is
illegal to use a hand-held phone while driving.

Switch off when refuelling

Do not use the phone at a refuelling point (service
station) or near fuels or chemicals.

Switch off in aircraft

Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them
on aircraft is both illegal and dangerous.

Switch off in hospital

Follow any regulations or rules. Switch phone off
near medical equipment.

Respect special regulations

Follow any special regulations in force in any area
and always switch off your phone whenever it is
forbidden to use it, or when it may cause
interference or danger (in a hospital for example).

Interference

All wireless phones may be subject to radio
interference, which may affect their performance.
