Do not use the device when using the device causes
danger or interference with electronic devices.
Medical Device
zFollow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and
health care facilities. Do not use your device when
using the device is prohibited.
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
hearing aids. For any such problems, consult your
service provider.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Power 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

14
explosion or a fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even
deaths. Do not power on your 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. In addition,
adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations
are in progress. Before using the device, watch out for
areas that have potentially explosive atmospheres 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) whether this device can be safely used in
their vicinity.
Traffic Security
Observe local laws and regulations while using the
device. In addition, if using the device while driving a
vehicle, 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,

15
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.

dirty places or places with magnetic fields. Otherwise,
it may result in a malfunction of the circuit.
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 stormy day with thunder, 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 the standby time are reduced.
zWhile using the device, observe the local laws and
regulations, and respect others' privacy and legal
rights.

the headset volume to a safe and comfortable level.
Safety of Children
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 be dangerous, as it may
present a choking hazard. Ensure that small children are
kept away from the device and accessories.
Accessories
Use the accessories delivered only by the manufacturer.
Using accessories of other manufacturers or vendors
with this device model may invalidate any approval or
warranty applicable to the device, result in the
non-operation of the device, and cause danger.
Battery and Charger
zUnplug the charger from the electrical plug and the
device when not in use.
zThe battery can be charged and discharged hundreds
of times before it eventually wears out. When the
standby time and the talk time are shorter than the
normal time, replace the battery.
