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 or to the radio. 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.
