1.2. Proper use

This device offers various options in terms
of its use:

• The device is intended for private use

only and not for industrial/commercial
use.

Please note that we shall not be liable in
case of improper use:

• Do not modify the device without our

consent and do not use any auxiliary
equipment which we have not approved
or supplied.

• Use only spare parts and accessories

which we have supplied or approved.

• Follow all the instructions in these

directions for use, especially the
safety information. Any other use is
deemed improper and can cause
personal injury or damage to the
product.

• Do not use the device in extreme

ambient temperatures and conditions.

8

1.3. Usage limitations

It is essential to turn off the smartphone in
the following situations:

• Before boarding an aircraft or before
packing it in your luggage. The use of
radio devices in aircraft can have
dangerous effects on the flight controls
and interrupt radio contact and is thus
prohibited.

• In hospitals, clinics or other health
centres and in any locations in the direct
vicinity of medical devices.

• In all locations where there is a risk of
explosion (e.g. petrol stations; in
dust-filled environments, e.g. where
there is metal dust).

• In locations where the use of radio­controlled devices is prohibited, e.g. on
construction sites or locations where
people are working with explosives.

• While driving a motor vehicle (if no
hands-free car kit is available).

1.4. Making calls while
driving

As making calls can reduce
concentration levels (while driving a
car or riding a bicycle), this can lead
to accidents. The following
instructions should be followed
exactly.

It is an offence to hold a telephone
in your hand (or between your head
and your shoulder) to make a call
while driving. It is also illegal to write
SMS, e-mail or use other programs
while driving. Failure to comply will
result in fines and in your name
being entered in the central traffic
offenders register.

The use of hands-free sets is allowed.

WARNING!
A wired headset is not a

hands-free set and may
not be used while driving.

10

WARNING!
Using headphones/

earphones to listen to this
device at high volumes for
an extended period can
damage your hearing.

Hands-free systems should only be
installed by suitably qualified
professionals. Incorrect installation
or maintenance can have hazardous
consequences and may also void
your guarantees – also that of the
car. Irradiation of the car’s on-board
electronics can cause serious defects
and result in danger to life and limb
for you and others.

Do not use voicemailbox while
driving. Do not listen to your
messages until you have parked
the car and switched the motor off.
If you accept a call via the hands­free set while driving, keep the call
as short as possible. Concentrate on
your driving. Try to to find a parking
area before making a call.

11

Please comply with all national
regulations if you use you mobile
while driving abroad.

If you need to call often while
driving, you should have a
hands-free system installed in your
car. These systems have been
specially developed for this purpose.

Ensure that neither your smartphone
nor the hands-free system can
interfere with the functionality of
the safety equipment in your car.

For vehicles with airbags: Bear in
mind that the activation of the
airbag involves the release of a large
amount of force. Therefore, never
install permanent or temporary
telephone equipment in the in the
area above the airbag.

If the smartphone or accessories are
incorrectly installed this can lead to
serious injury when the airbag is
activated.

12

WARNING!
Ignoring this advice can

lead to serious injuries
and/or property damage.
Non-compliance can lead
to severe penalties!

13

1.5. Additional costs for
Internet and roaming
usage

Considerable volume-based data costs may
apply when using the mobile Internet. To
limit these costs, we recommend that you
book an Internet flat rate.

Find out about the various options
available from your mobile network opera­tor. Also ask about the rates for using your
smartphone abroad (roaming) because this
can also result in high charges.

NOTE!

When you use the
smartphone for the first time,
data roaming (use of data
services in a different data
network than your own home
network provided by your
mobile network operator e.g.
abroad) is deactivated!

Check your mobile plan before
using the device and, if required,
switch off mobile data services
until you have activated a
suitable Internet flat rate.

2. Safety instructions

• Do not let children play with
electrical appliances without
supervision. Children are not
always aware of potential hazards.

• Keep packaging material such as
plastic film away from
children. There is a risk of
suffocation if used improperly.

DANGER!
Never open the device

housing or the mains
adapter housing.
There is a risk of electric
shock when the housing
is open.

• Do not insert anything into the
device through the slots and
openings. This could result in an
electrical short-circuit, an electric
shock or even ignite a fire which
will damage the product.

15

• Avoid exposing the device to
water droplets or spray and do
not place vases or anything
containing water on the unit.
Liquids penetrating the device
may impair the electrical safety of
the product.

• Plug the mains adapter into AC
100-240V~, 50/60 Hz earthed
sockets only. If you are not sure
about the power supply at the
installation location, please ask
your power supplier.

• The socket must be close to the
device and easy to access.

• Use only the supplied mains
adapter and attached USB cable.

• For extra safety, we recommend
using an overvoltage protection
device to prevent the product
from sustaining damage as a
result of power surges or
lightning strikes.

• If you want to disconnect the de­vice from the mains, first pull the

16

mains adapter out of the wall
socket and then out of the socket
on the product. The mains
adapter or the product may be
damaged if this process is carried
out in the reverse order. Always
take hold of the plug when
disconnecting the cable from the
socket. Never pull on the cable.

• Position the cable so that it

cannot be stepped on or tripped
over.

• To avoid damaging the cable, do

not place any objects on it.

• Do not expose plug-in

connections to pressure, e.g. from
lateral forces. This could cause
internal and external damage to
the device.

• Do not apply force when

connecting cables and plugs and
make sure that connectors are the
right way round.

• In order to prevent short-circuits

and cable breaks, do not crush or

17

bend cables.

• Maintain a distance of at least one
metre from sources of
high-frequency and magnetic
interference (TV sets,
loudspeakers, mobile phones,
DECT telephones, etc.) in order to
avoid malfunctions and data loss.

• Do not connect any devices to
the smartphone which do not
meet the requirements set out in
the EN60950 standard
“Information Technology
Equipment – Safety” or the
EN60065 standard “Audio, video
and similar electronic
apparatus - Safety requirements”.

2.5.1. Cleaning and care

You can increase the lifespan of your
device with the following measures:

• Always unplug the device and
disconnect all cables before

18

• Do not use solvents, corrosive or

aerosol detergents to clean the
device.

• Use appropriate cleaners to wipe

the display, e.g. glass cleaners or
monitor cleaners (available from
specialist retailers).

• Clean the screen with a soft,

lint-free cloth.

• Do not place the screen in strong

sunlight or near ultraviolet light.

• Make sure that no water droplets

remain on the device. Water can

not accept any liability for
claims for compensation
arising from loss of data
or any damages incurred.

2.5.3. Information about the

display

• Do not place any objects on top
of the device and do not exert
pressure on the screen. This could
break the screen.

• To avoid damaging the screen, do
not touch it with sharp objects.

• If the screen breaks, there is a
danger of injury. If this happens,
pick up the shattered pieces
wearing protective gloves and
send them to your service centre
for professional disposal. Finally,
wash your hands with soap, as the

20

pieces may have been
contaminated with chemicals.

• Prolonged exposure to strong

sunlight can lead to display errors
if the display is not refreshed.
These should disappear after
refreshing the screen.

2.5.4. Notes on batteries

This device contains a battery. Please
note the following when using
batteries:

• Charge the battery regularly and
