Safety and use .................................................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your mobile
phone. 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone when the vehicle
is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless mobile
phones and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
When driving, do not use your mobile phone 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 mobile phone 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 mobile phone 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 car’s
electronic devices are shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to optimize
its performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on aircrafts.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in
public areas.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your mobile device
in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. In an aircraft, turn
off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your
mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff
about using it in flight.
Switch the mobile phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in
designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use,
mobile phones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or
equipment using radio frequency.
Switch the mobile phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station, or
chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the mobile phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from
any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump. In
particular, when using the mobile phone you should hold it against the ear on
the opposite side to the device, if any.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable
medical device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with
your implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your mobile phone
to your ear. Also, move the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-
free” option because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
It is recommended to have proper supervision while small children use your
mobile phone.
When replacing the cover please note that your mobile phone may contain
substances that could create an allergic reaction.
If your phone is a unibody device, the back cover and battery are not removable.
If you disassemble your phone the warranty will not apply. Disassembling the
phone may damage the battery, and may cause leakage of substances that
could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your mobile phone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-
free place.
Do not allow your mobile phone to be exposed to adverse weather or
environmental conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust,
sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is
-10°C (14°F) to +55°C (131°F) (the max value depends on the device, materials
and housing paint/texture).
Over 55°C (131°F) the legibility of the mobile phone’s display may be impaired,
though this is temporary and not serious.
Do not open or attempt to repair your mobile phone yourself.
Do not drop, throw, or try to bend your mobile phone.
Do not use the mobile phone if the glass made screen, is damaged, cracked, or
broken to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
