ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting  operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel  storehouses, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas  where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be  aware that sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or  even death.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable materials exist,  the product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks  in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users  are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations, and  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. Areas with a potentially explosive  atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below  deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains  chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
ROAD SAFETY
In some states or local jurisdictions, vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use  telephony services with handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries  outside the US, using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
  Avoid using your device near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a 
building).
  Avoid using your device 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
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 it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to  assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the 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.
