2. Safety Information

Read through the following information carefully. Failure to follow these

safety precautions could result in danger or illegal activities.

Safe Startup

Do not switch on the device when phone use is prohibited or when it may

cause interference or danger.

Traffic Safety First

Traffic safety is always of first importance. Use of phones and headphones

while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle is not recommended and is illegal in

some areas. Obey and follow all related local laws.

Switching off at Gas Stations

Turn off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,

such as gas stations or any other fueling area. Sparks in such areas could

cause an explosion or fire, resulting in serious injury or even death.

Page 7

Switching off When Taking an Airplane

Wireless devices might be prohibited while in the air in some countries or

regions. Obey all related local laws and turn off your phone or switch to

airplane mode.

Switching off near Medical Equipment

Hospitals or healthcare facilities might use radio-frequency-sensitive

equipment. Obey the relevant rules and regulations.

Switching off at Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a

“blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and

instructions.

Radiation

Nearly every electronic device gives off radiation. Mobile phone use does not

increase the risk of getting brain cancer or other head tumors. Its effect in

humans is negligible.

Interference

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to interference for external

sources if inadequately shielded or designed. As a result, your phone may

Page 8

cause interference with other devices.

Temperature

Operate your phone in a place where the temperature is always between 10℃

to 45℃. Using or storing your phone in a too hot or too cold environment

might damage the battery, or even cause your phone to short-circuit or burn.

Proper Usage

Use your phone appropriately. Do not touch the antenna area unnecessarily

when the phone is turned on. Do not drop, disassemble, crush, bend, deform,

puncture, incinerate, or insert foreign objects into your phone.

Qualified Maintenance and Service

Never attempt to repair or modify the phone yourself. If your phone has any

hardware or software failure, do not use it until you take it to an authorized

service provider. Do not disassemble or root your phone yourself, otherwise

the warranty service will be terminated immediately.

Batteries, Chargers and other Accessories

Page 9

Do not dismantle the built-in lithium-ion battery of your device. Use only the

batteries, chargers and other accessories authorized by OPPO, for third-party

accessories might cause damage or danger.

Waterproofness

Your device is not waterproof. Do not use your device in rain, or other wet

locations.

Avoiding Hearing Damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if the receiver, speakerphone, headphones,

or earpieces are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher

volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your

hearing. Set the volume to a safe level to protect your hearing.

Avoiding Eyestrain

Your device’s screen color and brightness might have a different degree of

stimulation to your eyesight. Long-term viewing of your phone in normal or

darker environments will damage your eyesight. When watching video or

reading text on your phone, avoid prolonged use, take breaks and turn on

eye protection mode to prevent eyestrain.

Glass Parts

Page 10

The outside cover of your phone’s screen, front/rear camera and flash is made

of glass. This glass could break if your phone is dropped on a hard surface or

receives a substantial impact. Do not attempt to touch or clean the broken

glass. Stop using your phone until the glass is replaced by an authorized

service provider.

Connecting to Other Devices

Before connecting to other devices, carefully read the user manual for more

detailed, accurate and safety instructions. Do not connect to incompatible

products.

Being Aware of Laser Safety

If your phone supports laser focusing, carefully read this user manual before

using it. Failure to follow the instructions might lead to harmful radiation

exposure. To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not attempt to open

your phone’s outer shell, or keep close contact with laser light.
