Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and comply with all signs and
instructions. Areas that may have potentially explosive atmospheres include the areas where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not switch on the device at refueling points such as service stations.
Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas, and
chemical plants. Also, adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations are in progress. Before using the
device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive atmosphere that are often, but not always, clearly
marked. Such locations include areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
Traffic Security
Observe local laws and regulations while using the device. Also, if using the device while driving a vehicle, please
comply with the following guidelines:
Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive safely.
Do not talk on the device while driving. Use hands-free accessories.
When you have to make or answer a call, park the vehicle at the road side before using your device.
RF signals may affect electronic systems of motor vehicles. For more information, consult the vehicle
manufacturer.
In a motor vehicle, do not place the device over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Otherwise, the
device may hurt you owing to the strong force when the air bag inflates.
Do not use your device while flying in an aircraft. Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft. Using
wireless devices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless
telephone network, and may be considered illegal.
Operating Environment
Do not use or charge the device in dusty, damp or dirty places or places with magnetic fields. Otherwise, the
circuit may not function properly.
The device complies with the RF specifications when the device is used near your ear or at a distance of 1.5 cm
from your body. Ensure that the device accessories such as a device case and a device holster are not
composed of metal components. Keep your device 1.5 cm away from your body to meet the requirement
earlier mentioned.
