G
The data saved in your phone
might be deleted due to careless
use, repair of the phone, or
upgrade of the software. Please
backup your important phone
numbers. (Ringtones, text
messages, voice messages,
pictures, and videos could also be
deleted.) The manufacturer is not
liable for damage due to the loss
of data.
G
When you use the phone in
public places, set the ringtone to
vibration so you don't disturb
others.
G
Do not turn your phone on or off
when putting it to your ear.
G
Use accessories, such as
earphones and headsets, with
caution. Ensure that cables are
tucked away safely and do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Caution:
Avoid potential hearing
loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
(including music) is the most
common cause of preventable
hearing loss. Some scientific
research suggests that using
portable audio devices, such as
portable music players and cellular
telephones, at high volume settings
for long durations may lead to
permanent noise induced hearing
loss. This includes the use of
headphones (including headsets,
earbuds and Bluetooth
or other
®
wireless devices). Exposure to very
loud sound has also been associated
in some studies with tinnitus (a
ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity
to sound and distorted hearing.
Individual susceptibility to noise-
induced hearing loss and other
potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a
portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the
sound, the device, the device
settings and the headphones. You
should follow some commonsense
recommendations when using any
portable audio device:
G
Set the volume in a quiet
environment and select the
lowest volume at which you can
hear adequately.
G
When using headphones, turn
the volume down if you cannot
hear the people speaking near
you or if the person sitting next to
you can hear what you are
listening to.
G
Do not turn the volume up to
block out noisy surroundings. If
you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-cancelling
headphones to block out
background environmental noise.
G
Limit the amount of time you
listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before your
hearing could be affected.
