1.3. Usage limitations
It is essential to turn off the smartphone in the following
situations:
• Before boarding an aircraft or before packing it in your
luggage. The use of radio devices in aircraft can have
dangerous effects on the flight controls and interrupt
radio contact and is thus prohibited.
• In hospitals, clinics or other health centres and in any
locations in the direct vicinity of medical devices.
• In all locations where there is a risk of explosion (e.g.
petrol stations; in dust-filled environments, e.g. where
there is metal dust).
• In locations where the use of radio-controlled devices
is prohibited, e.g. on construction sites or locations
where people are working with explosives.
• While driving a motor vehicle (if no hands-free car kit
is available).
1.4. Making calls while driving
As making calls can reduce concentration lev-
els (while driving a car or riding a bicycle), this
can lead to accidents. The following instructions
should be followed exactly.
It is an offence to hold a telephone in your hand
(or between your head and your shoulder) to
make a call while driving. It is also illegal to write
SMS, e-mail or use other programs while driv-

ing. Failure to comply will result in fines and in
your name being entered in the central traffic
offenders register.
The use of hands-free sets is allowed.
WARNING!
A wired headset is not a hands-free
set and may not be used while dri-
ving.
WARNING!
Using headphones/earphones to lis-
ten to this device at high volumes for
an extended period can damage your
hearing.
Hands-free systems should only be installed by
suitably qualified professionals. Incorrect instal-
lation or maintenance can have hazardous con-
sequences and may also void your guarantees
– also that of the car. Irradiation of the car’s on-
board electronics can cause serious defects and
result in danger to life and limb for you and oth-
ers.
Do not use voicemailbox while driving. Do not
listen to your messages until you have parked
the car and switched the motor off. If you ac-

cept a call via the hands-free set while driving,
keep the call as short as possible. Concentrate
on your driving. Try to to find a parking area be-
fore making a call.
Please comply with all national regulations if
you use you mobile while driving abroad.
If you need to call often while driving, you
should have a hands-free system installed in
your car. These systems have been specially de-
veloped for this purpose.
Ensure that neither your smartphone nor the
hands-free system can interfere with the func-
tionality of the safety equipment in your car.
For vehicles with airbags: Bear in mind that the
activation of the airbag involves the release of
a large amount of force. Therefore, never install
permanent or temporary telephone equipment
in the in the area above the airbag.
If the smartphone or accessories are incorrectly
installed this can lead to serious injury when the
airbag is activated.
