 Safety Warnings And Precautions

• Electronic device
  • Switch off the terminal near high-precision electronic devices. The terminal may affect the performance of these devices. Such devices include hearing aids, pacemakers, fire alarm systems, automatic gates, and other automatic control devices. If you are using an electronic medical device, consult the device manufacturer to confirm whether the radio wave affects the operation of this device.
  • Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15cm be maintain between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the pacemaker. If you have a pacemaker, use the terminal on the opposite side of the pacemaker and do not carry the terminal in your front pocket.
• Hospital
  • Do not take the terminal into the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU), or coronary care unit (CCU).
  • Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do not use the terminal when it is prohibited.
  • When using the terminal near someone who is suffering from a heart disease, turn down the ring tone volume or vibration properly so that it does not affect the person.

Area with inflammables and explosives
In any area with inflammables and explosives, turn off the terminal and do not take out, install or charge the battery, to avoid explosion and fire. Areas with inflammables and explosives include, but are not limited to:

• Gas stations
• Area for storing fuels (such as the bunk under the deck of a ship)
• Device/vehicle for transporting and storing fuels or chemical products
• Area with chemical substances and particles (such as granule, dust, metal powder) in the air
• Area with the sign of “Explosives”
• Area with the sign of “Turn off bi-direction wireless equipment”
• Area where it is generally suggested to turn off a vehicle engine
• Traffic safety
  • Please observe local laws and regulations on wireless device use. Do not use the terminal while driving to avoid traffic accident. Secure the terminal on its holder. Do not place the terminal on the seat or other places where it can get loose in a sudden stop or collision. Use the terminal after the vehicle stops at a safe place.
  • Do not place the terminal over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Otherwise, the terminal may hurt you owing to the strong force when the air bag inflates.
  • Observe the rules and regulations of airline companies. When boarding or approaching a plane, turn off the terminal and remove the battery. In areas where wireless device use is prohibited, turn off the terminal. Otherwise, the radio signals of the terminal may disturb the plane control signals.
• Storage environment
  • Do not place magnetic storage media such as magnetic cards and floppy disks near the terminal. Radiation from the terminal may erase the information stored on them.
  • Do not put the terminal, battery, or charger in containers with a strong electromagnetic field, such as an induction cooker and a microwave oven. Otherwise, circuit failure, fire, or explosion may occur.
  • Do not leave the terminal, battery or charger in a very hot or cold place. Otherwise, malfunction of the terminal, fire or explosion may occur.
  • Keep the ambient temperature between 0℃ and 45℃ while the terminal is being charged. Keep the ambient temperature between -20℃ and 60℃ for storing the battery. Extreme temperatures may reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 0℃.
  • Do not place sharp metal objects such as pins near the earpiece. The earpiece may attract these objects and hurt you when you are using the terminal.
  • Do not subject the terminal, battery, and charger to serious collision or shock. Otherwise, battery leakage, terminal malfunction, overheat, fire, or explosion may occur.
  • Do not put the terminal in the back pocket of your trousers or skirt, to avoid terminal damage while seated.
• Operating environment
  • Do not use the terminal in dusty, damp, and dirty places or places with magnetic fields. Otherwise, malfunction of the circuit may occur.
  • Do not turn on or off the terminal when it is near your ears to avoid negative impact on your health.
  • When carrying or using the terminal, keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from your body, to avoid negative impact on your health caused by radio frequency leakage.
  • Move the terminal away from your ear while using the “hands-free” mode as the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
  • Do not use the flash in close proximity to people or animals.
  • On a thunder stormy day, do not use the terminal outdoors or when it is being charged, to prevent any danger caused by lightning.
  • The terminal may interfere with nearby TV sets, radios and PCs.
  • In accordance with international standards for radio frequency and radiation, use terminal accessories approved by the manufacturer only.
  • While using the terminal, observe the local laws and regulations, and respect others’ privacy and legal rights.
• Cleaning and maintenance
  • Before cleaning or maintaining the terminal, turn off the terminal and disconnect it from the charger. Otherwise, electric shock or short-circuit of the battery or charger may occur.
  • Do not use any chemical detergent, powder, or other chemical agent (such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the terminal and the charger. Otherwise, parts of the terminal may be damaged or a fire can be caused. The terminal can be cleaned with a soft antistatic cloth.
  • Do not scratch the shell of the terminal. Otherwise, the shed coating may cause skin allergy. Once it happens, stop using the terminal at once and go to see a doctor.
  • If the terminal or any of its accessories does not work, turn to the local authorized service center for help.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble the terminal or its accessories. Only authorized repair stations are allowed to repair the terminal.
