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.

18
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
 Power off your device and follow the rules and
regulations set forth by the hospitals and health
care facilities.
 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.
 Some 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,

19
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.
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:
 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.
Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft.

20
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
 Do not use or charge the device in dusty, damp or
dirty places or places with magnetic fields.
Otherwise, the circuit may not function properly.
 The device complies with the RF specifications
when the device is used near your ear or at[0] 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.
 On a thunder and stormy day, do not use your
device when it is being charged, to prevent any
danger caused by lightning.
 When 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.
 While using the device, observe the local laws and
regulations, and respect others' privacy and legal
rights.
 Use accessories authorized by manufacturers.
Using unauthorized accessories will render the
warranty null and void.
