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 are
posted. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
