Safety Information

This equipment is intended for use when supplied with power from the built-in charger or Dual Charger
(EB-CR520) through the AC Adaptor (EB-CA600). Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this
apparatus and may be dangerous.The use of approved accessories is recommended to ensure optimum
performance and avoid damage to your telephone.

Switch off your cellular telephone when in an aircraft. The use of cellular telephones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and may be illegal. Failure to observe
this instruction may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal
action or both.

You are advised not to use the equipment at a refuelling point. You are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in
progress. Never expose the battery pack to extreme temperatures (in excess of 60°C) or charge the battery
pack for much longer than recommended.

You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Do not use a hand held telephone or
microphone while you are driving. Find a safe place to stop first. Do not speak into a hands free microphone
if it will take your mind off the road. Acquaint yourself thoroughly with restrictions concerning the use of
cellular telephones within the country you are driving and observe them at all times.
