Important safety and handling information

Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time at high volume can be

dangerous if the output of the headphone or earphone connectors do not comply with

specifications of EN 50332-2.

The headphone output connector of your device complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This

If your device came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the combination

of the headphones or earphones and the device already complies with the specifications of EN

50332-1. If different headphones or earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN

50332-1 (Clause 6.5 Limitation Val ues). Using headphones that do not com ply with EN

50332-1 can be dangerous due to exces sive sound pressure levels.

Important safety and handling information

Dispose according to local laws and regulations

When your device reaches the end of its useful life, do not crush, incinerate, immerse in water,

or dispose of your device in any manner contrary to local laws and regulations. Some internal

parts contain substances that can explode, leak, or have an adverse environmental affect if

disposed of incorrectly.

See “Recycling and environmental information” for additional information.

Keep your device and accessories away from small children

Your device contains small parts that can be a choking hazard to small children. Additionally,

the glass screen can break or crack if dropped on or thrown against a hard surface.

Protect your data and software

Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that were not created by

you; otherwise, your device software might fail to work.

Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your device vulnerable to computer

viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage your device,

software, or data. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate protection in the

form of firewalls, antivirus software, and anti-spyware software and keep such software up to

Keep electrical appliances away from your device, such as an electric fan, a radio,

high-powered speakers, an air conditioner, and a microwave oven. The strong magnetic fields

generated by electrical appliances can damage the screen and the data on the device.

Be aware of heat generated by your device

When your device is turned on or the battery is charging, some parts might become hot. The

temperature that they reach depends on the amount of system activity and the battery charge

level. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause discomfort or even

a skin burn. Avoid keeping your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in conta ct with

a hot section of the device for any extended time.
