2 SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS

When using your telephone, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the following:

1.Switch off the phone in the vicinity of chemical plants, gas stations and other locations containing explosive objects.

4

2.When driving, please use the hands free calling device (to be purchased separately) to ensure safety. Please park the car on the roadside for communication except in case of emergency.

3.Switch off the phone when boarding an airplane and do not switch the phone on during the flight.

4.Be careful when using the mobile phone in the vicinity of devices such as pacemakers, hearing aids and other electro-medical equipment, which may be interfered by the mobile phone.

5.Never attempt to disassemble the phone by yourself.

6.Do not recharge the phone without battery being installed.

7.Charge the phone in well-ventilated environment and keep away from inflammable and highly explosive elements.

8.To avoid demagnetization, keep the handset away from magnetic substances, such as magnetic discs or credit cards.

				5
9. Keep the phone away from liquid. If
soaking or erosion occurs, take the						UK
battery out and contact the supplier.
10. Avoid	using	the	phone	in
extremely high or low temperature
environments.		Never leave		the
phone	exposed		under direct

sunlight, in high humidity or in a dusty environment.

11. Do not use liquid or anything wet with strong detergents to clean the handset.

2.1Medical units

The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, e.g. mobile phones, can interfere with insufficiently protected medical apparatus. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the apparatus to determine if it has adequate protection against external radio signals, or if you have any questions. Wherever there are notices to forbid use of mobile phones, you should comply. Hospitals and other health care facilities sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive to external radio signals.

6

2.2Pacemaker

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance of at least 15 cm. between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid the risk of interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are in accordance with independent research and recommendations from Wireless Technology Research. People with pacemakers should:

•not carry the unit in a breast pocket

•hold the unit against the ear on the opposite side from the pacemaker to reduce the risk of interference

If you suspect that there is a risk of interference, turn off the unit and move it further away.

2.3Areas with explosion risk

Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there is a risk of explosion and follow all signs and instructions. An explosion risk exists in the places that include areas where you are normally requested to turn off your car engine. Within such an area, sparks can cause explosions or fire which can lead to personal injuries or even death.

7

Turn off the unit at filling stations i.e. near petrol pumps and garages. Follow the restrictions that are in force on the use of radio equipment near places where fuel is stored and sold, chemical factories and places where blasting is in progress.

Areas with risk for explosion are often

– but not always – clearly marked. This also applies to below decks on ships: the transport or storage of chemicals; vehicles that use liquid fuel (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder.

2.4Emergency calls

Important!

Mobile phones use radio signals and the mobile phone network. This means that connection in all circumstances cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore you should never rely solely on a mobile phone for very important calls such as medical emergencies.
