Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering finger-written
characters, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders,
neck, or other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort during or after such
use, stop use and see a physician.
Children
Keep your mobile device and its accessories away from small children. These
products are not toys and may be hazardous to small children. For example:
• A choking hazard may exist for small, detachable parts.
• Improper use could result in loud sounds, possibly causing hearing injury.
• Improperly handled batteries could overheat and cause a burn.
Supervise access for older children. Similar to a computer, if an older child does use
your mobile device, you may want to monitor their access to help prevent:
• Exposure to inappropriate apps or content.
• Improper use of apps or content.
• Loss of data.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass. This glass could break if the
product receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove.
Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by a qualified service center.
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.
Potentially Explosive Areas
Potentially explosive areas are often, but not always, posted and can include blasting
areas, fueling stations, fueling areas (such as below decks on boats), fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such
as grain dust, or metal powders. When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile
device, and do not remove, install, or charge batteries, unless it is a radio product type
especially qualified for use in such areas and certified as “Intrinsically Safe” (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL approved). In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an
explosion or fire.
• Obey all local laws and regulations for the use of mobile devices and accessories in
the vehicle.
• End your call or other task if you cannot concentrate on driving.

Seizures, Blackouts & Eyestrain
To reduce eyestrain and avoid headaches, it is always a good idea to hold the screen a
comfortable distance from your eyes, use in a well-lit area, and take frequent breaks.
Some people may be susceptible to seizures or blackouts (even if they have never had
one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns, such as when playing video
games, or watching videos with flashing-light effects. Discontinue use and consult a
physician if any of the following symptoms occur: seizures, blackout, convulsion, eye or
muscle twitching, loss of awareness, or disorientation. If you or someone in your family
has experienced seizures or blackouts, please consult with your physician before using
an application that produces flashing-light effects on your mobile device.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may
affect your hearing. The louder the volume sound level, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in
your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device
through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.
