Safety Precautions
Do not use near medical devices or on board aircraft
Do not use a mobile phone near a heart pacemaker or any other medical device. Radio frequency (RF) signals may interfere with the functionality of medical or aircraft equipment.
•Always maintain a suitable distance between the phone and a pace- maker if the phone is switched ON.
•Turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•Turn OFF the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
•Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as hearing aids) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
•Do not hold the receiver near your ear except during a call, as a sudden sound from the ringing speaker may result in damaging your hearing.
•Should you use the phone orien- tated with its back adjacent to your body (e.g., when using the headset), maintain a suitable distance between phone and your body.
•Before boarding an aircraft, be sure to first cancel Auto Power On and any other alarm settings, and then turn the phone off.
When not to use in or around your vehicle
•Do not use your phone near combustible fuels or flammable chemicals.
•To avoid traffic accidents, do not use a mobile phone while driving. Park the vehicle first and then use the phone. Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can become dislodged in a collision or sudden stop.
•RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the vehicle manufacturer or representative regarding use.
General Warnings
•Do not use the phone outside on a rainy day or near any source of water.
•Do not leave the phone in extremely hot or cold places, such as in a closed or open car in summer or winter conditions, or allow it to be exposed to direct sunlight.
•Do not make any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved.
•Do not use the phone in high humidity or with wet hands to prevent electric shock or short- circuiting.
•Be careful not to drop or damage the phone. Rough handling can damage the internal circuit boards causing malfunction.
•Keep the phone out of the reach of small children. They could hurt themselves or others.
Notes • Use only in the normal position (applied to ear). Do not touch or hold the antenna unless absolutely necessary.
•It is normal for the mobile phone to become warm when used for extended periods.
•The temperature near the phone should be kept between 5°C and 35°C.
