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 fuelling 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
Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with handheld devices, except in the
case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.
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.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
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.
