1.1 Safety and use ....................................................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your device. The
manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence
of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.
• 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 phone when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your device and headset to listen to music or to the radio.
Using a headset 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 optimise its performance.
Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the device off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas.
As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, devices can interfere with
other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
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 15 cm from any medical
device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid, or an insulin pump, etc.. In particular
when using the phone, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the
device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your phone to your ear. Also
move the phone away from your ear while using the "hands-free" mode because the
amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
Do not let children use the device and/or play with the device and accessories
without supervision.
If your device has a removable cover, note that your device may contain substances
that could create an allergic reaction.
If your device is a unibody device, the back cover and battery are not removable. If
you disassemble your device the warranty will not apply. Disassembling the device
may damage the battery, and may cause leakage of substances that could create an
allergic reaction.
