Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area
where you drive. Always obey them.
When using your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.

Operational Warnings

For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a phone is
placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the
phone may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury
to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless it is a phone type especially qualified
for use in such areas and certified as "Intrinsically Safe." Do not
remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to
above include fuelling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not
always posted.

or playing video games. These seizures or blackouts may occur
even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a
family history of such occurrences, please consult with your doctor
before playing video games on your phone or enabling a blinking-
lights feature on your phone. (The blinking-light feature is not
available on all products.)

features that incorporate blinking lights on the phones. All persons
should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following
symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of
awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following
safety precautions:
• Do not play or use a blinking-lights feature if you are tired or
need sleep.
• Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
• Play in a room in which all lights are on.
• Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

When you play games on your phone, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of your body. Follow these instructions to avoid
problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other
musculoskeletal disorders:
• Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
• If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while
playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or
after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
