Traffic safety

Do not use a handheld telephone while driving a vehicle. Always park the vehicle before using the phone.

After completing your phone conversation, always secure the phone back into its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or place it where it can break loose in a collision or during a sudden stop.

Caution: The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on public roads is not permitted.

Remember: Safety—Your most important call.

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations that are in force in any area, and always switch off your phone wherever it is forbidden to use it. Otherwise, the use of your phone could cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read the associated user guide first and obtain detailed safety instructions.

Note: Do not connect incompatible products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, you are advised that, for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the phone should only be used in the normal operating position. This position is when the phone is held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder.
