Safety use
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your device. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.
Traffic Safety
Given that studies show that using a mobile device while driving a vehicle
constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit,
headset…), drivers are requested to refrain from using their mobile when the
vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your device and head device to listen to music or to
the radio. Using a head device can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your device emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere
with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags.
To ensure that there is no problem:
- Do not place your device on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment area.
- Check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile device RF energy.
Conditions of Use
You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to optimize its
performance.
Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities, except in
designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use,
mobile devices can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or
equipment using radio frequencies.
Switch the device off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly
obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or
chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the device is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any
medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc.
Do not let children use the device and/or
play with the device and accessories without supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your device may contain substances
that could create an allergic reaction. Always handle your device with care
and keep it in a clean and dust free place.
Do not allow your device to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental
conditions (moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air,
etc). The manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature range is -20°C to
+60°C, humidity 20%-90%.
At over 60°C the legibility of the device’s display may be impaired, though
this is temporary and not serious.
Emergency call numbers may not be reachable on all cellular networks. You
should never rely only on your device for emergency calls.
Do not open, dismantle or attempt to repair your mobile device yourself.
Do not drop, throw or bend your mobile device.
Do not use the device if the glass made screen, is damaged, cracked or broken
to avoid any injury.
Do not paint it.
Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are recommended
with your device model. Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written
record of all important information stored in your device. Some people may
suffer epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, or
when playing video games. These seizures or blackouts may occur even if a
person never had a previous seizure or blackout. If you have experienced
seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences,
please consult your doctor before playing video games on your device or
enabling a flashing-lights feature on your device.
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or other features
that incorporate flashing lights on the devices. All persons should
discontinue use and consult a doctor if any
of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of
awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To limit the likelihood
of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:
- Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.
- Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.

number allows your mobile device to be blocked preventing a third person from
using it, even with a different SIM card.
