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. 
Traffic Security 
 Do not use your device while driving, and observe the local laws and regulations.  Do not use your device while flying in an aircraft. Power off your device before 
boarding an aircraft. Using wireless devices in an aircraft may cause danger to the 
operation of the aircraft and disrupt the wireless telephone network. It may also be 
considered illegal. 
Operating Environment 
 Do not use or charge the device in dusty, damp, and dirty places or places with 
magnetic fields. Otherwise, it may result in a malfunction of the circuit. 
 On a stormy day with thunder, do not use your device, to prevent any danger caused 
by lightning. 
 When you are on a call, do not touch the antenna. Touching the antenna affects the 
call quality and results in increase in power consumption. As a result, the talk time and 
the standby time are reduced. 
 Use accessories authorized by the manufacturer. Using unauthorized accessories will 
render the warranty null and void. 
 Because the device needs to disperse heat during working, place the device and the 
power supply in a ventilated and shady place. Never cover the device, put objects on it, 
or place it near water, fire as well as inflammable and explosive materials. 
 This device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm 
between the antenna and all persons.   
 Keep the ambient temperature between -10°C and 45°C while the device is being 
charged. Keep the ambient temperature between-10°C to 55°C for using the device 
powered by a battery. 
Safety of Children 
Comply with all precautions with regard to childrens safety. Letting the child play with your 
device or its accessories, which may include parts that can be detached from the device, 
may be dangerous, as it may present a choking hazard. Ensure that small children are kept 
away from the device and accessories.
