hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are
requested to refrain from using their phone when the
vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations
on the use of wireless 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.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
• You are advised to switch off the phone from time to
time to optimize its performance;
• Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile
phone use on aircrafts;

• If your phone is a unibody device, where the back
cover and battery are not removable, disassembling
the phone will void your warranty. Disassembling
the phone can cause bodily injury if the battery is
punctured;
• Always handle your phone with care and keep it in a
clean and dust-free place;
• Do not allow your phone to be exposed to adverse
weather or environmental conditions, such as
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). At over 55°C (131°F), the legibility
of the phone’s display may be temporarily impaired;

other chargers or batteries;
• Your phone should not be disposed of in a municipal
waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of

• Remember to make backup copies or keep a written
record of all important information stored on your
phone;
• Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts
when exposed to flashing lights, or when playing video
games. These seizures or blackouts may occur even if
a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if
you have a family history of such occurrences, please
consult your doctor before playing video games on
your phone or enabling a flashing-lights feature on
your phone;
• Parents should monitor their children’s use of video
