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.
NOTE: For France, Earphones (listed below) for this device have been tested to
comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement laid down in the applicable
NF EN 50332-1:2000 and/or NF EN 50332-2:2003 standards as required by
French Article L. 5232-1.
• Earphone, manufactured by Cotron, Models CHM-60STV07004 and
CHM-60STV07004T.
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. Do not touch or hold the antenna
area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. 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.
