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 phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame
of a building).
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
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 they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your 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.
