OVERVIEW

Safety and use

Please read this chapter carefully before using your phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein. Do not use your phone when the vehicle is not safely parked. Using a hand-held phone while driving is illegal in many countries.
Comply with restrictions on use specific to certain places (hospitals, planes, gas stations, schools, etc.). Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft. Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas. Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere when operate your phone. Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device. When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid, or an insulin pump, etc. Do not let children use the phone and/or play with the phone and accessories without supervision. To reduce exposure to radio waves, it is recommended:

To use the phone under good signal reception conditions as indicated on its screen (four or five bars);
To use a hands-free kit;
To make reasonable use of the phone, particularly for children and adolescents, for example by avoiding night calls and limiting the frequency and duration of calls;
Keep the phone away from the belly of pregnant women or the lower abdomen of adolescents.

Do not allow your phone 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 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). At over 40°C (104°F) the legibility of the phone’s display may be impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Exercise caution when holding your phone near your ear while the loudspeaker is in use. Use only batteries, battery chargers, and accessories which are compatible with your phone model.
