Health and Safety Information
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your phone off when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while
at a refuelling point (service station). Users are
reminded of the need to observe restrictions on
the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel
storage and distribution areas), chemical plants
or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often but not always clearly marked. They
include the areas below decks on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane
or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders, and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.

Health and Safety Information
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates
using radio signals, wireless and landline
networks as well as user-programmed functions,
which cannot guarantee connection in all
conditions. Therefore, you should never rely
solely on any wireless phone for essential
communications (medical emergencies, for
example).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the
phone must be switched on and in a service area
with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls
may not be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network services
and/or phone features are in use. Check with
local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2. Key in the emergency number for your
present location (for example, 112 or any
other official emergency number). Emergency
numbers vary by location.
3. Press the
key.
If certain features are in use (call barring, for
example), you may first need to deactivate those
features before you can make an emergency
call. Consult this document and your local
cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to
give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible. Remember that your phone may be
the only means of communication at the scene
of an accident; do not cut off the call until given
permission to do so.
