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.
9
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.

your device, which can be created on your device or synchronised with your PC or the Exchange Server. For each contact, you can store phone numbers, email addresses, instant messaging (IM) names, company and home addresses, and information such as a job title, birthday, and a lot more. You can also add a picture and assign a ring tone to an Outlook contact.
USIM/SIM contacts. Contacts that are stored on the USIM/SIM card.
Only the name and a phone number can be stored for each entry.
Windows Live™ contacts. Contacts that you communicate with using
Windows Live™ Messenger or MSN. Just like Outlook contacts, you can also enter complete information for a Windows Live™ contact. For more information, see “Add Windows Live™ contacts” in Chapter 10.
