Safety Guidelines

Follow the guidelines below to use your phone in a safe and legal manner.

General

•Use your phone in the intended manner (holding it to your ear). Incorrect usage may affect its performance. Only qualified service personnel should install or repair the phone and its accessories.

•Use only compatible batteries and accessories. Using incompatible items may permanently damage the phone.

•Do not connect the phone to any other device without reading the provided documentation. The other device may be incompatible.

•When making emergency calls from your phone, ensure that the phone is switched on and in service.

•Interference may affect your phone’s performance. Once you move away from the source of the interference, the phone should operate as usual.

•When the phone is used for extended periods of time, especially in high temperature conditions, the phone surface could become hot. Please use caution when touching the phone under such conditions.

•When using ear buds or other headphones, be careful not to listen at excessive volume. Listening to very loud sound levels may lead to hearing loss. Also, listening through the ear buds or headphones for prolonged periods of time, even at normal sound levels, may lead to hearing loss. You should consult your doctor for more information on proper use of ear buds or headphones.

Operating Environment

•Do not use a hand-held phone while driving or otherwise operating machinery. If using a hand-held phone, park the vehicle before conversing. If using an integrated handsfree device, make sure the phone is securely in its holder.

•Switch your phone off if you are entering a hospital or other such institution. Medical equipment may be affected by the phone so you should observe any building regulation governing phone usage.

•Switch your phone off when on an aircraft. The aircraft’s systems may be affected by the phone signal. You are legally obliged to comply with this recommendation.

•Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.

•Do not use your phone when refuelling. You should keep your phone away from fuel and chemicals.
