Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a
refuelling point (service station). Users are reminded
of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations
are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often
but not always clearly marked. They include the areas
below decks on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such
as propane or butane, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders, and any other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using
radio signals, wireless, and landline networks as well as
user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should
never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications like medical emergencies.
To make or receive calls, the phone must be switched
on and in a service area with adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless
phone networks or when certain network services and/
or phone features are in use. Check with local service
providers.
To make an emergency call:
1
Switch on the phone.
2
Key in the emergency number for your present
location. Emergency numbers vary by location.
3
Press [
].
Certain features like Call Barring may need to be
deactivated before you can make an emergency call.
Consult this document and your local cellular service
provider.
Other important safety information
• Only qualified personnel should service the phone
or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation
or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty applicable to the device.
• Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the
phone, its parts, or accessories.
• For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that
an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects,
including installed or portable wireless equipment, in
the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Improperly installed wireless equipment could
result in serious injury if the air bag inflates.
• Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. It
is dangerous and illegal to use wireless phones in an
aircraft because they can interfere with the operation
of the aircraft.
• Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the
suspension or denial of telephone services to the
offender, or legal action, or both.
