14 Safety information

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your
device. 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 device 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 device
when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your device or headphone to listen to
music. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some
areas. When switched on, your device 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 device 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 dashboard is adequately shielded from device RF energy.
•CONDITIONS OF USE
You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to
optimize its performance.
Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities, except
in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now
in regular use, these devices can interfere with other electrical or
electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequencies.
Switch the device off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol
81
station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the device is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from
any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump,
etc. In particular when using the device, you should hold it against the
ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, move the device away from your ear
while using the "hands-free" mode because the amplified volume
might cause hearing damage.
Do not let children use the device and/or play with the device and
accessories without supervision.
Please note that your device is a unibody device, the back cover
and battery are not removable. Do not attempt to disassemble your
device. If you disassemble your device the warranty will not apply.
Also, disassembling the device may damage the battery, and may cause
leakage of substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your device with care and keep it in a clean and dust-
free place.
Do not allow your device to be exposed to adverse weather or
environmental conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of
liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer's recommended operating
temperature range is 32°F to +113°F.
At over 113°F the legibility of the device's display may be impaired,
though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your device yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your device.
Do not use the device if the glass made screen is damaged, cracked
or broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
