The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper
use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.
TRAFFIC SAFETY: Given that studies show that using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle constitutes
a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset), drivers are requested to refrain from
using their mobile phone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless mobile phones and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use
of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
When driving, do not use your mobile phone and headphone to listen to music or to the radio. Using a
headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your mobile phone emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle's
electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:
• Do not place your mobile phone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area
• Check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the car's electronic devices
are shielded from mobile phone RF energy.

performance. Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on aircrafts.

do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline

any questions about using your mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult your
healthcare provider.

the handset away from your ear while using the "hands-free" option because the amplified volume
