You must always exercise extreme caution when driving in order to reduce the risk of accidents. Do not use your wireless device while driving. This device, moreover, has been tested for use at a distance of 1.5 cm between the back of the phone and the user's body.
Symbol Description Switch off your phone when prompted to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical devices. Turn off your wireless device when prompted to do so by airport personnel or aircraft. For information on the use of wireless devices on board aircraft, contact the crew. If the device has a "flight mode", this must be activated before boarding an aircraft.
Symbol Description Do not expose your device or its accessories to extreme temperatures. Do not expose your device or its accessories to liquid or moisture. Not groped to disassemble the device or its accessories, only authorized personnel can do it. This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which, by their nature, are not able to guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, for emergency communications, never rely solely upon any wireless device.
Exposure to radio frequency energy THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/ kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.

Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the warranty. Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation.
Pacemakers Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket. Hospitals Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Avoid damage to your hearing To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.
