Safety information

This section contains important information about how to use your device safely and how it operates. Read this information carefully before using your device.

Electronic device
Do not use your device if its use is prohibited or if it may cause danger or interference with other electronic devices.

Interference with medical equipment

• Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
• Adhere to any rules or regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities.

• Some wireless devices may affect the performance of hearing aids or pacemakers. For more information, contact your service provider.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend maintaining a minimum distance of 15 cm between a pacemaker and a wireless device to prevent potential interference with the pacemaker. If using a pacemaker, hold the device on the side opposite the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket.

Protecting your hearing when using a headset

• To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
  
• Using a headset at high volumes may damage your hearing. To reduce this risk, lower the headset volume to a safe and comfortable level.

• Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause distraction and increase your risk of an accident.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Power off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that may have potentially explosive atmospheres include the areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or a fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not power on your device at refueling points such as service stations. Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas, and chemical plants. In addition, adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations are in progress. Before using the device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive atmospheres that are often, but not always, clearly marked. Such locations include areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) whether this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
