SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DIRECT SUNLIGHT

Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not leave the product or its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 60°C (140°F), such as on a car dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle.

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS

CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are

used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.

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.

When you turn on your phone for the first time, your phone displays tutorials and guides you to set up your email accounts and favorite social networks such as Facebook®, YouTube™, and Twitter™. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup, or skip the setup and do it at another time.

Switching to Sleep mode

Briefly press the POWER button to turn off the display temporarily and switch your phone to Sleep mode, suspending your phone to a low power state while the display is off in order to save battery power.

Your device automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain period of time. You are still able to receive messages and calls while your device is in Sleep mode. Your device wakes up automatically when you receive an incoming call. To wake up your device manually, briefly press the POWER button.

Tip You can set the display timeout period. For instructions, see “To change

backlight and automatic Sleep mode settings” in Chapter 14.
