Safety precautions for direct sunlight
Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not leave the product or
its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 140˚F (60˚C), such as on a car
dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle. 18
Prevention of hearing loss
CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume for
prolonged periods of time.
Safety in aircraft
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft's navigation system and its
communications network, using this device's phone function on board an airplane is against the law in most
countries. If you want to use this device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by
switching to Airplane Mode.
Environment restrictions
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in
progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as fueling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on
boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Explosive atmospheres
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable materials exist, the product
should be turned off and the user should 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 not to use the equipment at
refueling points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the
use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas
with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas,
below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Road safety
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone
while driving (even with a hands-free kit) may cause distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply
with local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
•
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).
•
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, sound speakers,
TV and radio.
•
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal.
•
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure guidelines
and should be avoided.
Interference with medical equipment functions
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in most
hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Nonionizing radiation
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the
radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users
are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended
that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and
damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well
as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines
set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the
antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and
the battery life.
