Safety Precautions

Do not switch on or use the phone at petrol stations or other sites with highly flammable fumes, as this could cause the gases to ignite or result in device damage, faults or a fire.
Never operate the phone in an aircraft. Always switch it off before boarding. Its use may be hazardous to the aircraft’s normal operation and may interfere with the airport’s mobile radio networks. Failure to comply may result in prosecution.
Do not use the phone in hospitals, as the antenna’s electromagnetic radiation may cause disturbances to medical equipment’s normal operation.
If you wear devices such as a pacemaker or hearing aids, we recommend that you keep a safe distance from the antenna. The antenna’s radiation may cause disturbances to their normal operation.
Before making a call, fully extend the antenna. Do not touch or hold it during a call.
We recommend the installation in a vehicle of the Hands Free Kit, which provides a safer alternative to holding and using the phone while driving. The Kit includes a handset cradle which allows for handsfree speech.
Never expose the phone to high levels of moisture (e.g. rain, water jets...).
This phone is only intended for use with approved accessories. Use of other such accessories may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
