1.2 Safety warning and Attentions
Safety warning
ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. Use hands-free fittings when calls are
unavoidable while driving. In some countries, dialing or receiving calls while driving is illegal!
SWITCH OFF INAIRCRAFT
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. Using a mobile phone in flight is illegal and
risky.
Please make sure that your mobile phone is powered off in flight.
SWITCH OFF BEFORE ENTERING RISKYAREAS
Strictly observe the relevant laws, codes, and regulations on the use of mobile phones in risky
areas. Turn off your mobile phone before entering a place susceptible to explosion, such as an oil
station, oil tank, chemical plant or a place where a blasting process is under way.
OBSERVE ALL SPECIAL REGULATIONS
Follow any special regulations in force in any area such as hospitals and always switch off
your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it or, when it may cause interference or danger. Properly
use your mobile phone near medical apparatuses, such as pacemakers, hearing aids and some other
electronic medical devices, as it may cause interference to such apparatuses.
INTERFERENCE
The conversation quality of any mobile phone may be affected by radio interference. An
antenna is built inside the mobile phone and located below the microphone. Do not touch the
antenna area during a conversation, lest that the conversation quality deteriorate.
QUALIFIED SERVICE
