•TRAFFIC SAFETY

Given that studies show that using a device while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using their device when the vehicle is not parked.

When driving, do not use your device or headphone to listen to music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas. When switched on, your device emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:

- do not place your device on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area,

- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that

the dashboard is adequately shielded from device RF energy.

•CONDITIONS OF USE

You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to optimize its performance.

Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft.

Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities, except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, these devices can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequencies.

Switch the device off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.

When the device is switched on, it should be kept at least 150 mm from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid, or insulin pump, etc. In particular when using the device, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side of the device, if applicable.
