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
device safely. Read this information carefully before using your device.
Electronic Device
Power off your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device
when using the device causes danger or interference with electronic
devices.
Medical Device
• Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care
facilities. Do not use your device when using the device is prohibited.
• Pacemaker 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.
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 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.

18
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:
• Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive safely.
• Do not talk on the device while driving. Use hands-free accessories.
• When you have to make or answer a call, park the vehicle at the road
side before using your device.
• RF signals may affect electronic systems of motor vehicles. For more
information, consult the vehicle manufacturer.
• In 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.
• Do not use your device while flying in an aircraft. Power off your device
before boarding an aircraft. Using wireless devices in an aircraft may
cause danger to the operation of the aircraft and disrupt the wireless
telephone network. It may also be considered illegal.

hazard. Ensure that small children are kept away from the device and
accessories.
Accessories

this model by the device manufacturer. The use of any other type of battery,
charger, or accessory may invalidate any warranty for the device, may be in
violation of local rules or laws, and may be dangerous. Please contact your
dealer for information about the availability of approved batteries, chargers,
and accessories in your area.
Battery and Charger

use.
• The 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.

improper power voltage may cause a fire or a malfunction of the charger.
• Do not connect two poles of the battery with conductors, such as metal
materials, keys, or jewelries. Otherwise, the battery may be short-
circuited and may cause injuries and burns on your body.
