is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this device when on board an
aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to Airplane Mode.
ENVIRONMENT 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, chemical plants, 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
•
•
•
•
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a
building).
Avoid using your phone 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 FUNCTIONS
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 they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your 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.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service
line to discuss alternatives.
NONIONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use
position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other
mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation
of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of
the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the
equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas may impair
call quality and damage the phone, causing loss
of performance and SAR levels exceeding the
recommended limits as well as result in non-
compliance with local regulatory requirements in
your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and
ensure human exposure to RF energy is within
the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards,
always use your device only in its normal-use
position. Contact with the antenna area may
impair call quality and cause your device to
operate at a higher power level than needed.
Antenna
location
Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna
performance and the battery life.
