Seizures/Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching videos. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, please consult a physician.

Radio Frequency Interference

General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical devices. The SAR result for this device is published on ztemobiles.com.au

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical Equipment
Turn off your wireless device when you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices onboard the aircraft and enable Flight mode of your phone when boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.

Explosive Environments

Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas, below decks 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.

Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas where signs are posted to power off "two-way radios" or "electronic devices" to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
