Safety information
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 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.
