18 Warnings and Precautions
This section contains important information pertaining to the
operating instructions of your device. It also contains information
about how to use the mobile safely. Read this information carefully
before using your device.

12
Electronic Device
Power off your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use
the device when it causes danger or interference with electronic
devices.
Medical Device
zPower off your device and follow the rules and regulations set
forth by the hospitals and health care facilities.
zPacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of
15 cm be maintained between a device and a pacemaker to
prevent potential interference with the pacemaker. If you are using
a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side of the pacemaker
and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
zSome wireless devices may affect the performance of the hearing
aids. For any such problems, consult your service provider.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that
may have potentially explosive atmospheres include the areas where
you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not switch on the
device at refueling points such as service stations. Comply with
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas, and chemical plants. Also, adhere to restrictions in
areas where blasting operations are in progress. Before using the
device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive
atmosphere that are often, but not always, clearly marked. Such
locations include areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or
storage facilities and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the
manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.

13
Traffic Security
Observe local laws and regulations while using the device. Also, if
using the device while driving a vehicle, please comply with the
following guidelines:
zConcentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive safely.
zDo not talk on the device while driving. Use hands-free
accessories.
zWhen you have to make or answer a call, park the vehicle at the
road side before using your device.
zRF signals may affect electronic systems of motor vehicles. For
more information, consult the vehicle manufacturer.
zIn a motor vehicle, do not place the device over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Otherwise, the device may hurt you
owing to the strong force when the air bag inflates.
zDo not use your device while flying in an aircraft. Switch off your
device before boarding an aircraft. Using wireless devices in an
aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt
the wireless telephone network, and may be considered illegal.
Operating Environment
zDo not use or charge the device in dusty, damp or dirty places or
places with magnetic fields. Otherwise, the circuit may not
function properly.
zThe device complies with the RF specifications when the device
is used near your ear or at a distance of 1.5 cm from your body.
Ensure that the device accessories such as a device case and a
device holster are not composed of metal components. Keep your
device 1.5 cm away from your body to meet the requirement
earlier mentioned.
zOn a thunder and stormy day, do not use your device when it is
being charged, to prevent any danger caused by lightning.

zWhen you are on a call, do not touch the antenna. Touching the
antenna affects the call quality and results in increase in power
consumption. As a result, the talk time and standby time are
reduced.
zWhile using the device, observe the local laws and regulations,
and respect others' privacy and legal rights.
zUse accessories authorized by manufacturers. Using unauthorized
accessories will render the warranty null and void.
zKeep the ambient temperature between 0℃and 45℃while the

Preventing Hearing Damage
Using the receiver, earbuds, headphones, speakerphone, or earpieces
at high volume can result in permanent hearing loss. Be extremely
careful when listening at high decibel levels. Set the volume to a safe
level. If you experience strange sounds in your ears like ringing or if
you hear muffled speech, get your hearing checked. If you continue
to use high volume, your hearing will soon get affected.
Hearing experts offer the following suggestions to protect your
hearing:
zReduce the time you use the receiver, earbuds, headphones,
speakerphone, or earpieces at high volume.
zDo not increase the volume to block noisy surroundings.
zReduce the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
Safety of Children
Please comply with all precautions with regard to children's safety.
Letting the child play with your device or its accessories, which may
include parts that can be detached from the device, may prove
dangerous, as it may present a choking hazard. Make sure that small
children are kept away from the device and accessories.
