IMPORTANT SAFETY AND LEGAL INFORMATION
242• Make use of the special features in the handset that minimize the
number of buttons which have to be pressed, such as message
templates and predictive text
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax
Blackouts and Seizures: Blinking lights, such as those experienced
with television or playing video games, may cause some people to
experience blackout or seizure, even if never experienced before. In
the event a smartphone user should experience any disorientation,
loss of awareness, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching or other
involuntary movements, stop use immediately and consult a doctor.
Individuals with personal or family history of such events should
consult a doctor before using the device. To limit the possibility of
such symptoms, wherever possible every hour take a minimum of 15
minutes, use in a well lighted area, view the screen from the farthest
distance and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.
Operating Machinery: Do not use your smartphone while operating
machinery. Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in
order to reduce the risk of an accident.
Aircraft: While in aircraft, follow all instructions regarding the
operation of your smartphone. Use of your smartphone while on
board an aircraft must be done in accordance in compliance with
airline instructions and regulations.
Vehicles with Air Bags: Your smartphone should not be placed in a
position that would affect the operation of air bag deployment or in a
position that, should the air bag inflate, could propel the smartphone.
Air bags inflate with great force and care should be taken to protect
within a vehicle that has air bags. Do not place a phone in the area
over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Store the phone
safely before driving the vehicle.
Small children: Do not leave your smartphone and its accessories
within the reach of small children or allow them to play with it. They
could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the
smartphone. Your smartphone contains small parts with sharp edges
that may cause an injury or which could become detached and create
a choking hazard.
Product Handling & Safety: You alone are responsible for how you
use your smartphone and any consequences of its use. You must
always switch off your smartphone wherever the use of a phone is
prohibited. Use of your smartphone is subject to safety measures
designed to protect users and their environment.

Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most
common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research
suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music
players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long
durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This
includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and
Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound
has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in
the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential
hearing problems varies.
