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 headphone to listen to music or to the
radio. Using a headphone 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.
IP5020_BP61_QG_Eng_USA_03_140709.indd 12IP5020_BP61_QG_Eng_USA_03_140709.indd 122014-7-9 17:36:132014-7-9 17:36:13

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.
Please note that your phone is a unibody device,
the back cover and battery are not removable.
Do not attempt to disassemble your phone. If

you disassemble your phone the warranty will not
apply. Also 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 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.

phone yourself.

phone.
Do not use the mobile phone if the glass made
screen, is damaged, cracked or broken to avoid
any injury.

on your mobile phone or enabling a flashing-
lights feature on your mobile phone. Parents

games or other features that incorporate flashing
lights on the mobile phones. All persons should

of the following symptoms occur: convulsion,
eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness,
involuntary movements, or disorientation.To limit
the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the
following safety precautions:
