fuel depots, chemical plants or places where blasting operation is
in progress. Remember to comply with legal requirements and
local restrictions when using the phone.
Your Phone’s radio waves may interfere with inadequately
shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or manufacturer of
the medical device to know whether they are adequately shielded
from external Radio Frequency. Switch off your device when
regulations require you to do so.
Always keep the phone and accessories out of reach of small
children. Small parts such as the SIM card or micro SD card can be
dismantled and swallowed by small children.
Do not place the phone near electromagnetic data carriers such
as credit/Debit cards. Information stored on them could be lost.
Permanent damage to hearing may occur if you use earphones at
high volume for prolonged periods. Set your volume to a safe
level. If you experience discomfort in your ears, reduce the volume
or discontinue the use of your earphones.
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum
distance of 15.3 cm (6 inches) between a wireless device and an
implanted medical device such as pacemaker or cardioverter
defibrillator to avoid issues arising out of radio frequency
interference.
37
The mains voltage (V) specified on the power supply unit must not

Do not use the phone while driving. When you have to use the
phone, please use the earpiece.
