3.5 Operational Warnings

3.5.1 For Vehicles With an Air Bag

Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

3.5.2 Gas or Petrol Stations

Obey all posted signs with respect to the use of radio equipment in gas or petrol stations. Turn off your wireless device if instructed by authorised staff.

3.5.3 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

3.5.4 Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn OFF your phone when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted “Turn off electronic devices.” Obey all signs and instructions.

3.5.5 Damaged Products

If your phone or battery has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to a Motorola Authorised Service Centre to determine if it has been damaged. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven.

3.5.6 Batteries and Chargers

Batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become hot. Take care when handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Use only Motorola

Original™ batteries and chargers.

Caution: To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of your battery in a fire.

3.7 Seizures/Blackouts

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. These seizures or blackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.

If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult with your doctor before playing video games on your phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone. (The flashing-light feature is not available on all products.)

Parents should monitor their children's use of video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones. All persons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation.

To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:

•Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.

•Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.

•Play in a room in which all lights are on.

•Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

3.8 Repetitive Motion Injuries

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. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:

•Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.

•If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.

•If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
