Safety and Use

We recommend that you read this chapter
carefully before using your mobile phone.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for
damage, which may result as a consequence
of improper use or use contrary to the instruc-
tions 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:
30
- do not place your mobile phone on top of
the dashboard or within an airbag deploy-
ment 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.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the mobile
phone from time to time to optimize its
performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of
mobile phone use on aircrafts.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs
when using mobile devices in public areas.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference
Problems: Turn off your mobile device in any
location where posted notices instruct you
to do so. In an aircraft, turn off your mobile
device whenever instructed to do so by airline
staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane
mode or similar feature, consult airline staff
about using it in flight.
Switch the mobile phone off when you are
in health care facilities, except in designated
areas. As with many other types of equipment
now in regular use, mobile phones can inter-
fere with other electrical or electronic devices,
or equipment using radio frequency.
