•Switch your phone off when in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere (for example fuel storage areas, spray paint facilities etc.).

•Only qualified personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty. For more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative of your vehicle.

•If you wear a pacemaker, or are in the company of someone who does, you should be aware that there is small risk of your phone interfering with the operation of the pacemaker. Only certain types of pacemaker are affected and only if the mobile phone is placed next to it. You should contact your doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for more information.

•Your phone may interfere with some hearing aids. If this happens you should contact your service provider or doctor.

•Your phone may interfere with the functionality of inadequately shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the device to ensure safe procedure.

•Your phone may interfere with the functionality of any inadequately shielded electronic system in a motor vehicle. Examples of this type of system include air-bags and fuel injection. You should contact the manufacturer of the vehicle to ensure that it is properly shielded.

Battery Safety

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery.

•A new battery or one that has not been used for a long time could have reduced capacity the first few times it is used. The battery can only be charged in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and +35°C (+95°F).

•Only use batteries approved by Toshiba and only recharge the battery with the recommended charger supplied by Toshiba.

•When the charger is not in use disconnect it from the power source.

•Do not leave the battery connected to the charger and power source for longer than necessary as overcharging it will shorten its life.

•Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circulating can occur when a metallic object causes a direct connection between the + and - terminals of the battery.

•Do not leave the battery in a cold (for example, a fridge) or hot place (for example, in a car exposed to direct sunlight) as this will effect its performance.

•Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
