Safety And Use - Alcatel Onetouch F102G Quick Start Manual

Safety and Use

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using
your phone. 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 when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your 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 phone emits electromagnetic waves that
can interfere with the vehicle's electronic systems such as ABS
antilock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:
- do not place your 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 dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF
energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to
optimise its performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the 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 telephones can interfere with other electrical or
electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol
station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the phone 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 phone, you should
hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your
phone to your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear
while using the "hands-free" mode because the amplified volume
might cause hearing damage.
Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the telephone and
