For Your Safety

have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, please consult a physician.

Repetitive Stress Injuries

To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when texting or playing games with your phone:

•Do not grip the phone too tightly.

•Press the buttons lightly.

•Use the special features that are designed to minimize the times of pressing buttons, such as Message Templates and Predictive Text.

•Take many breaks to stretch and relax.

Electrical Safety

Accessories

Use only approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories. Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact or short-circuit in the battery terminals. Never puncture the surface of the battery with sharp objects.

Connection to a Car

Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface to the vehicle electrical system.

• Only use the battery with a charging system that has

been qualified with the system per CTIA Certification

Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE

1725. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may

present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other

hazard.

• Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic

conductive objects to contact battery terminals.

• Replace the battery only with another battery that has

been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-

Std-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a

risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Radio Frequency Interference

General Statement on Interference

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phone for emergency communications.

Loud Noise

This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio devices.

Phone Heating

Your phone may become warm during charging and during normal use.

Faulty and Damaged Products

Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessories. Only qualified personnel can service or repair the phone or its accessories. If your phone (or its accessories) has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to be checked at an authorized service center.

CTIA Requirements

•Do not disassemble or crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.

•Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

•Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.

• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance

with local regulations.

• Battery usage by children should be supervised.

• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or

battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and

the user suspects damage, take it to a service center

for inspection.

• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion,

or other hazard.

• The phone shall only be connected to CTIA certified

adapters, products that bear the USB-IF logo or

products that have completed the USB-IF compliance

program.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
