warranty and may contravene local laws and regulations.

Drive Safely

§ Do not use your phone while driving. Use a hands-free device to operate
your phone.

§ Always place the phone in its proper holder; do not place the phone on the
passenger seat, near an airbag.

RF Interference

§ Always obey local laws and regulations pertaining to mobile phone usage.

§ Some electronic equipment may not be shielded from RF signals.

§ Read user’s manual of any accessory or device and its operation and safety

instructions before using it with your phone.

Charger and Accessories

§ Use only approved charger.

§ Do not use the charger outdoors or in wet areas.

§ Unplug the charger from power source before cleaning. Use a slightly damp

result in phone damage, degraded performance, re, electric shock or injury,
and will void the warranty.

§ Check with authorised dealer for list of approved accessories.

Pacemakers

Based on the research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research,
AWG recommends a separation be maintained between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with
pacemakers:

§ Should keep the phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker
when the phone is switched on;

§ Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

§ Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference.

§ If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch
off your phone immediately.

systems in motor vehicles (e.g. fuel injection systems, anti-lock braking
systems, speed control systems, air bag systems).

§ Do not store or carry ammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.

§ Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of mobile phone
in an aircraft may interfere with the operation of the aircraft and may be
illegal.
