Safety information
Use in hospitals / medical devices
•
The function of medical equipment near your smartphone can be impaired. Bear in mind the technical
conditions of the environment in question (such as in a doctors' surgery).
•
If you use a medical device such as a pacemaker, please consult the manufacturer of the product before
using the product. You will be provided information on the sensitivity of your smartphone to external,
high-frequency energy sources.
•
Heart pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators:
When you switch on your smartphone, ensure that the distance between your smartphone and an implant
is at least 20 cm. To reduce potential interference, use your smartphone on the opposite side to the
implant. Please switch your smartphone off immediately if interference occurs. Do not keep your
smartphone in a shirt pocket.
•
Hearing aids, cochlear implants:
Some digital wireless devices can interfere with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Please consult the
manufacturers of these products if interference occurs.
•
Other medical devices:
If you and the people around you use other medical devices, please contact the relevant manufacturer for
information on whether such devices are protected from radio frequency signals in the environment. You
can also consult your doctor about this.
Emergency calls
•
Ensure your smartphone is switched on and connected to the mobile network. Enter the emergency
number as required and speak.
•
Tell the person at the emergency call centre your location.
•
Do not end the conversation until the person at the emergency call centre asks you to.
Children and pets
•
Keep your smartphone, chargers and accessories out of the reach of children and pets. Children and/or
pets can swallow the small parts, posing a risk of suffocation and other hazards. A child may only use your
smartphone under the supervision of an adult.
Long periods of use
•
Playing games or surfing on your smartphone for long periods may mean assuming an unhealthy body
posture. Take a 15 minute break every hour. If you feel unwell having used the phone for a long period,
take a break - and consult a doctor if your condition persists.
Aeroplanes, vehicles and road safety
•
Switch off your smartphone in aeroplanes.
Please observe applicable restrictions and regulations. Wireless devices can interfere with the function of
aeronautical equipment. Follow the instructions issued by flight personnel when using your smartphone.
•
The absolute priority for every vehicle driver and everyone in a vehicle is safety on the roads and for road
users. Using your smartphone whilst driving can be distracting and therefore lead to dangerous situations.
You may also be violating applicable laws.
SIM card, memory card and data connector cable
•
Do not remove the card from your smartphone whilst data is being sent or received, as this presents a risk
of data loss and damage to your smartphone or memory card.
•
Charges might apply when establishing Internet connections via the SIM card.
