Emergency calls


Mobile phones use radio signals, the mobile phone network, the terrestrial network and user-programmed functions. This means that connection cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances. Therefore, never rely only on a mobile phone for very important calls such as medical emergencies.

Vehicles

Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, air bag systems) that have been incorrectly installed or are inadequately protected. Contact the manufacturer or its representative for more information about your vehicle or any additional equipment.

Do not keep or transport flammable liquids, gases or explosives together with the unit or its accessories.

For vehicles equipped with air bags: Remember that air bags fill with air with considerable force. Do not place objects, including fixed or portable radio equipment in the area above the airbag or the area where it might expand.

Serious injuries may be caused if the mobile phone equipment is incorrectly installed and the airbag fills with air.

It is prohibited to use the unit in flight. Turn off the unit before you board a plane. Using wireless telecom units inside a plane can pose risks to air safety and interfere with telecommunications. It may also be illegal.

Safety instructions


The unit and the accessories can contain small parts. Keep all of the equipment out of the reach of small children. The mains adapter is the disconnect device between the product and mains power. The mains socket outlet must be close to the equipment and easily accessible.

Network services and costs

Your device is approved for use on the GSM 900/1800 MHz networks. To use the device, you need a subscription with a service provider.

Using network services may result in traffic costs. Some product features require support from the network, and you may need to subscribe to them.

Operating environment

Follow the rules and laws that apply wherever you are, and always turn off the unit whenever its use is prohibited or can cause interference or hazards. Only use the unit in its normal user position.

This unit complies with guidelines for radiation when it is used either in a normal position against your ear, or when it is at least 1.5 cm from your body. If the unit is carried close to your body in a case, belt holder or other holder, these holders should not contain any metal, and the product should be placed at the distance from your body specified above. Make sure that the distance instructions above are followed until the transfer is complete.

Parts of the unit are magnetic. The unit can attract metal objects. Do not keep credit cards or other magnetic media near the unit. There is a risk that information stored on them can be erased.

Care and maintenance

Your unit is a technically advanced product and should be treated with the greatest care. Negligence may void the warranty.

  • Protect the unit from moisture. Rain/snowfall, moisture and all types of liquid can contain substances that corrode the electronic circuits. If the unit gets wet, you should remove the battery and allow the unit to dry completely before you replace it.
  • Do not use or keep the unit in dusty, dirty environments. The unit's moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
  • Do not keep the unit in warm places. High temperatures can reduce the lifespan for electronic equipment, damage batteries and distort or melt certain plastics.
  • Do not keep the unit in cold places. When the unit warms up to normal temperature, condensation can form on the inside which can damage the electronic circuits.
  • Do not try to open the unit in any other way than that which is indicated here.
  • Do not drop the unit. Do not knock or shake it either. If it is treated roughly the circuits and precision mechanics can be broken.
  • Do not use strong chemicals to clean the unit.

The advice above applies to the unit, battery, mains adapter and other accessories. If the phone is not working as it should, please contact the place of purchase for service. Don't forget the receipt or a copy of the invoice.
