For your safety

The following guidelines will help you to use your Thuraya X5-Touch safely.

SWITCH ON SAFELY

it may cause interference or danger.

SWITCH OFF IN HOSPITALS

Follow any restrictions that are advised in a hospital. Switch off the phone near 
medical equipment.

ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST

Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate the vehicle while
