standards.The CE mark on your cellular phone means
that it is compliant with the European directive on
electromagnetic compatibility 89/336/EEC and the
low voltage directive 73/23/EEC.

Careless use of the phone can result in harm to you
or others. Please read and follow all the security
instructions given here and inquire about local laws

electronic equipment used in your vehicle will not
be affected by radio energy. Avoid using your
phone while driving (it affects your concentration).
