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 Device 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.
Switching off Device When On Board 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 Device near Medical Equipment
Hospitals or healthcare facilities might use radio-frequency-sensitive equipment.
Obey the relevant rules and regulations.
Switching off Device at Blasting Areas
-
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 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
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
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
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 the user manual before using
it. Failure to follow instructions might lead to harmful radiation exposure. To prevent
direct exposure to laser beam, do not attempt to
avoid keeping close contact with laser light.
