230 D : Regulatory and safety information
Persons with pacemakers should do the following:
• ALWAYS keep the device more than 15 centimetres from their pacemaker when the device
is turned ON.
• Not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
• Turn the phone OFF immediately if they have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
Audio safety: This device is capable of producing loud noises which may damage your
hearing. Music players and mobile devices, at high volume settings for long durations, may
lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. When using the speakerphone feature, it is
recommended that you place your device at a safe distance from your ear.
Other medical devices, hospitals: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your doctor may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your device
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.
Repetitive motion injuries: When using the keyboard or playing games on your device, you
may experience discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms or other parts of the body.
To avoid injuries such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome or other musculoskeletal
disorders, make sure you take breaks from use. Take longer rests (such as several hours) if
discomfort or tiring begins, and see a doctor if discomfort persists.
To minimise the risk of Repetitive Motion Injuries, when texting or playing games with your
device: Make sure to take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.
Operating machinery: Do not use your device while operating machinery. Full attention must
be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
Vehicles with air bags: Your device should not be placed in a position that would affect the
operation of air bag deployment or in a position that could propel the device should the air
bag inflate. Air bags will inflate with great force and care should be taken to protect yourself
and your phone within a vehicle that has air bags. Do not place a device in the area over
an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Store the device safely before driving the
vehicle.
Hearing aids: People with hearing aids or cochlear implants may experience interference
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.
Small children: Do not leave your device and its accessories within the reach of small
children or allow them to play with it. They could hurt themselves or others, or could
accidentally damage the device. Your device contains small parts with sharp edges that may
cause an injury or which could become detached and create a choking hazard. Keep the
device away from the abdomens of pregnant women and adolescents, particularly when
using the device hands-free. To reduce exposure to radiation, use your device in good
reception areas, as indicated by the bars on your device (at least 3 to 4 bars).
General statement on handling and use: Switch off your device wherever the use of a device
is prohibited. Use of your device is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and
their environment.
