SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT

Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation

system and its communications network, using this device’s phone function on

board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this

device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to

Airplane Mode.

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.

To assure optimal phone

performance and ensure human

exposure to RF energy is within

the guidelines set forth in the

relevant standards, always use

your device only in its normal-use

position. Contact with the antenna

area may impair call quality and

cause your device to operate

at a higher power level than

needed. Avoiding contact with

the antenna area when the phone

is IN USE optimizes the antenna

performance and the battery life.

Antenna location

screen. Cracked display screens due to improper handling are not covered by

the warranty.

• Device getting warm after prolonged use
