Guidelines for safe and efficient use 8 ° Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock. ° Switch off the phone in any area where you are required by special regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals as it may affect sensitive medical equipment. ° Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock and can seriously damage your phone.
