Safety information
This section contains important information about the
operation of your device. It also contains information about
how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully
before using your device.
Electronic device
Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited. Do
not use the device if doing so causes danger or interference
with other electronic devices.
Interference with medical equipment
• Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and
health care facilities. Do not use your device where
prohibited.
• Some wireless devices may affect the performance of
hearing aids or pacemakers. Consult your service
provider for more information.
• 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 using a pacemaker, hold the device on the
side opposite the pacemaker and do not carry the device
in your front pocket.
Protecting your hearing when using a headset
• To prevent possible hearing damage, do not
listen at high volume levels for long periods.

• Using a headset at high volumes may damage your
hearing. To reduce this risk, lower the headset volume to
a safe and comfortable level.
• Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause
distraction and increase your risk of an accident.
Areas with flammables and explosives
• Do not use the device where flammables or explosives
are stored (in a gas station, oil depot, or chemical plant,
for example). Using your device in these environments
increases the risk of explosion or fire. In addition, follow
the instructions indicated in text or symbols.
• Do not store or transport the device in containers with
flammable liquids, gases, or explosives.
Traffic security
• Observe local laws and regulations while using the
device. To reduce the risk of accidents, do not use your
wireless device while driving.
• Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive
safely.
• Do not hold the device while driving. Use hands-free
accessories.
• When you must make or answer a call, pull off the road
safely and park the vehicle first.
• RF signals may affect the electronic systems of motor
vehicles. For more information, consult the vehicle
manufacturer.
• Do not place the device over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area in a motor vehicle. Doing so may hurt

you because of the strong force when the air bag
inflates.
• Wireless devices may interfere with the airplane's flight
system. Do not use your device where wireless devices
are not allowed according to the airplane company's
regulations.
Operating environment
• Avoid dusty, damp, or dirty environments. Avoid
magnetic fields. Using the device in these environments
may result in circuit malfunctions.
• Do not use your device during thunderstorms to protect
your device against any danger caused by lightning.
• Ideal operating temperatures are 0°C to 35°C. Ideal
storage temperatures are -20°C to 70°C. Extreme heat
or cold may damage your device or accessories.
• Do not expose your device to direct sunlight (such as on a
car dashboard) for prolonged periods.
• To protect your device or accessories from fire or
electrical shock hazards, avoid rain and moisture.
• Keep the device away from sources of heat and fire, such
as a heater, microwave oven, stove, water heater,
radiator, or candle.
• Do not place sharp metal objects, such as pins, near the
earpiece or speaker. The earpiece may attract these
objects and result in injury.
• Stop using your device or applications for a while if the
device is overheated. If skin is exposed to an overheated
device for an extended period, low temperature burn

symptoms, such as red spots and darker pigmentation,
may occur.
• Do not use your device's camera flash directly in the eyes
of people or pets. Otherwise temporary loss of vision or
damage to the eyes may occur.
• Do not touch the device's antenna. Otherwise,
communication quality may be reduced.
• Do not allow children or pets to bite or suck the device or
accessories. Doing so may result in damage or explosion.
• Observe local laws and regulations, and respect the
privacy and legal rights of others.
Child's safety
• Comply with all precautions with regard to child's safety.
Letting children play with the device or its accessories
may be dangerous. The device includes detachable parts
that may present a choking hazard. Keep away from
children.
• The device and its accessories are not intended for use by
children. Children should only use the device with adult
supervision.
Accessories
• Using an unapproved or incompatible power adapter,
charger or battery may cause fire, explosion or other
hazards.
• Choose only accessories approved for use with this
model by the device manufacturer. The use of any other
types of accessories may void the warranty, may violate
local regulations and laws, and may be dangerous.

Please contact your retailer for information about the
availability of approved accessories in your area.
Charger safety
• For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be installed
near the devices and shall be easily accessible.
• Unplug the charger from electrical outlets and the device
when not in use.
• Do not drop or cause an impact to the charger.
• If the power cable is damaged (for example, the cord is
exposed or broken), or the plug loosens, stop using it at
once. Continued use may lead to electric shocks, short
circuits, or fire.
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands or pull the
power cord to disconnect the charger.
• Do not touch the device or the charger with wet hands.
Doing so may lead to short circuits, malfunctions, or
electric shocks.
• If your charger has been exposed to water, other liquids,
or excessive moisture, take it to an authorized service
center for inspection.
• Ensure that the charger meets the requirements of
Clause 2.5 in IEC60950-1/EN60950-1/UL60950-1 and
has been tested and approved according to national or
local standards.
