Environment Restrictions
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive
atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Please be aware that sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Explosive Atmospheres
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where
flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user
should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised
not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations,
and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations
are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Road Safety
Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with
handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries,
using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.
Safety Precautions for RF Exposure
Avoid using your device near metal structures (for example, the steel
frame of a building).
Avoid using your device near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

Please Read Before Proceeding
9
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories
that do not contain any metal.
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Interference with Medical Equipment Functions
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this
device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
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.
Turn the phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Nonionising Radiation
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorised or modified
antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as
result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.

Please Read Before Proceeding
10
Internal antenna
location
To assure optimal phone performance and
ensure human exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant
standards, always use your device only in
its normal-use position. Do not touch or
hold the antenna area unnecessarily when
placing or receiving a phone call. Contact
with the antenna area may impair call quality
and cause your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding contact
with the antenna area when the phone is in
use optimises the antenna performance and
the battery life.
