battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 140°F, such as on a car dashboard,

window sill, or behind a 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 on board an aircraft, remember to turn off the phone by switching to Flight Mode.

ENVIRONMENTAL 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 fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, 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. 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

In some states or local jurisdictions, vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with

handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries outside the US, using hands-free devices

as an alternative is allowed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

• Avoid using your device near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).

• Avoid using your device 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

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 it

is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this

information.

Turn the 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.

NONIONIZING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the

radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users

are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, 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. Do not touch or hold the antenna

area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call.

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.
