temperatures. Do not leave the product or its battery inside a 
vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 60°C 
(140°F), such as on a car dashboard, window sill, or behind 
glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light 
for extended periods of time. This may damage the product, 
overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle.
PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS
CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or 
headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of 
time.
SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an 
aircraft’s navigation system and its communications network, 
using this device’s phone function on board an airplane is 
against the law in most countries. If you want to use this device 
when its use is restricted on board an aircraft, remember to 
switch to Airplane Mode which turns off RF functions that could 
cause interference.
ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical 
plants or where blasting operations are in progress, or in 
potentially explosive atmospheres such as fueling areas, fuel 
storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or 
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air 
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal

powders. Please be aware that sparks in such areas could 
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even 
death.
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 
communication 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
s  Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, 
the steel frame of a building).
s  Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, 
such as microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio. 
						

							6Important Health Information and Safety Precautions
s  Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or 
accessories that do not contain any metal.
s  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 prohibited in most hospitals and 
medical clinics. 
If you use any personal medical device(s), consult the 
manufacturer of your device(s) to determine if the device(s) 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.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing 
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult 
your service provider, or call the customer service line to 
discuss alternatives.
NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be 
operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative 
performance and safety from interference. As with other 
mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that  
						

							7Important Health Information and Safety Precautions
for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for personal 
safety, it is recommended that no part of the human body be 
allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of 
the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized 
or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the 
phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding 
the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance 
with local regulatory requirements in your country. 
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human 
exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the 
relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-
use position. Contact with the antenna area may impair call 
quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level 
than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the 
phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the 
battery life.
