or photo light, or point it at another person's eyes.
This may damage the eyes or cause temporary loss of
eyesight which could result in an accident.
Do not expose the camera lens to direct sunlight for
extended periods.
This may result in a fire, burns, or injury due to the
converging effect of the lens.
Use the supplied or specified items.

consensus of the scientific community and result from
deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who
continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of this product may
be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
representatives of the organization. These situations may for
example include:
• Using this product on board of airplanes, or
• In any other environment where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of
wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (e.g.
airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use this
product prior to turning on the product.

11Regulatory Information
Additional safe ty precautions
Posted facilities
• Turn off the product when in hospitals, health care facilities, or
any facility where posted notices require you to do so.
Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Pacemakers
• Medical device manufacturers recommend a minimum
separation of 15 cm between a wireless device and an
implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted
cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the
medical device.
• Persons with pacemakers:
– Should ALWAYS keep this product more than 15 cm from
their pacemaker when this product is turned ON;
– Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;
– Should not carry this product in a breast pocket;
– Should turn off the product immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing aids
• Some digital wireless products may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, consult the
manufacturer of your hearing aid to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices
• If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.

12
Aircraft
• Turn off the product after boarding an aircraft, when instructed
by flight staff. Obey instructions from flight staff regarding the
use of the product in flight. Using this product in an aircraft may
be hazardous to the aircraft’s operation and disrupt wireless
communication, and may also be illegal.
Potentially explosive atmosphere
• Turn off the product in areas where a potentially explosive
atmosphere exists and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks
in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury
or even death.
• Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere may include
fueling areas, chemical plants, below deck on boats, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using petroleum
or natural gas, or areas where the atmosphere contains
particles such as grain, dust, or metallic powders, and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine.
Electronic devices
• This product receives and transmits radio frequency signals
while switched on. Most electronic equipment is shielded from
RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from this product. Therefore,
the use must be restricted in certain situations to avoid

shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Consult the
manufacturer (or its representative) of the vehicle and any
equipment that has been added to the vehicle regarding the
use of mobile products.
• Use hands-free operation, if available and legally permitted.
Emergency communications
• Never rely solely on a mobile product for essential or
emergency communications. Network connections can be
affected by remaining battery level, radio signals, service
networks, and other conditions, and as a result, emergency
communications cannot be guaranteed in all conditions.
