Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the
use of mobile phones in the area when
you drive.
• Do not use a hand-held phone while
driving.
• Give full attention to driving.
• Use a hands-free kit, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
• RF energy may affect some
electronic systems in your vehicle
such as car stereos and safety
equipment.
• When your vehicle is equipped
with an air bag, do not obstruct it
with installed or portable wireless
equipment. It can cause the air bag
to fail or cause serious injury due to
improper performance.
• If you are listening to music whilst
out and about, please ensure that
the volume is at a reasonable
level so that you are aware of your
surroundings. This is particularly
important when near roads.
Avoid damage to your hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur
if you are exposed to loud sound for
long periods of time. We therefore
recommend that you do not turn the
handset on or off close to your ear. We
also recommend that music and call
volumes are set to a reasonable level.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting
is in progress. Observe restrictions, and
follow the rules and regulations.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
• Do not use the phone at a refuelling
point.
• Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
• Do not transport or store flammable
gas, liquid, or explosives in the same
compartment of your vehicle as your
mobile phone and accessories.
