Safety and texting while driving
Safety should be every driver's first priority. Drivers must obey all
local laws that may include restrictions on the use of mobile
telephones or accessories while driving. If use is legal, always keep
your hands free to operate the vehicle while driving and use a
handsfree device whenever possible. Suspend calls in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather. Get to know your mobile phone and its features
and make any necessary information inputs prior to driving. Do not
input data or engage in text messaging while driving. Mobile
telephones should not be used when use may be a distraction to the
driver.
The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) has
published further info and tips on safe use of cellular telephones at
www.ctia.org/consumer_info/safety, which we encourage you to
review.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as
near gas station pumps. Sparks may cause an explosion or fire
resulting in injury or death. Note restrictions in areas with fuel;
chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas
with a potentially explosive environment may not be clearly marked.
These usually are areas where you are advised to switch your engine
off, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
where the air contains chemicals or particles. Check with the
manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets international guidelines for exposure to
radio waves.
Your cellular phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields), recommended by international guidelines
from the independent scientific organization ICNIRP. These
guidelines incorporate substantial safety margins that are intended
to assure the protection of all persons regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines are based on the Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR), which is an expression of the amount of radio frequency (RF)
power deposited in the head or body when the device is transmitting.
The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10
grams of tissue.
SAR tests are carried out with the device in standard operating
positions, transmitting at its highest certified power level, in all its
frequency bands. The maximum recorded SAR values for this device
are:
