Warnings and Precautions
This section contains important information pertaining to the operating
instructions of your device. It also contains information about how to use the
device safely. Read this information carefully before using your device.
Electronic Device
Power off your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device
when using the device causes danger or interference with electronic
devices.
Medical Device
• Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care
facilities. Do not use your device when using the device is prohibited.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15
cm be maintained between a device and a pacemaker to prevent
potential interference with the pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker,
use the device on the opposite side of the pacemaker and do not carry
the device in your front pocket.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Power off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
and comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that may have potentially
explosive atmospheres include the areas where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Triggering of sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or a fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even
deaths. Do not power on your device at refueling points such as service
stations. Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, storage, and distribution areas, and chemical plants. In addition,
adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations are in progress.
Before using the device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive
atmospheres that are often, but not always, clearly marked. Such locations
include areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as
grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) whether this device
can be safely used in their vicinity.
