Safety Information
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.
Traffic Security
Observe local laws and regulations while using the device. In addition, if using
the device while driving a vehicle, comply with the following guidelines:
• Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive safely.
• Do not talk on the device while driving. Use hands-free accessories.
• When you have to make or answer a call, park the vehicle at the road side
before using your device.
• RF signals may affect electronic systems of motor vehicles. For more
information, consult the vehicle manufacturer.
• In a motor vehicle, do not place the device over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Otherwise, the device may hurt you owing to the strong
force when the air bag inflates.
• 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 when it is being
charged, 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.
• While using the device, observe the local laws and regulations, and
respect others' privacy and legal rights.
Prevention of Hearing Damage
Using a headset at high volume can damage your hearing. To reduce the risk
of damage to hearing, lower the headset volume to a safe and comfortable
level.
Safety of Children
Comply with all precautions with regard to children's 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.
Accessories
Choose only batteries, chargers, and accessories approved for use with this
model by the device manufacturer. The use of any other type of battery,
charger, or accessory may invalidate any warranty for the device, may be in
violation of local rules or laws, and may be dangerous. Please contact your
dealer for information about the availability of approved batteries, chargers,
and accessories in your area.
Battery and Charger
• Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in
use.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times before it
eventually wears out. When the standby time and the talk time are shorter
than the normal time, replace the battery.
• Use the AC power supply defined in the specifications of the charger. An
improper power voltage may cause a fire or a malfunction of the charger.
• Do not connect two poles of the battery with conductors, such as metal
materials, keys, or jewelries. Otherwise, the battery may be short-circuited
and may cause injuries and burns on your body.
• If battery electrolyte leaks out, ensure that the electrolyte does not touch
your skin and eyes. When the electrolyte touches your skin or splashes
into your eyes, wash your eyes with clean water immediately and consult
a doctor.
• If there is a case of battery deformation, color change, or abnormal
heating while you charge or store the battery, remove the battery
immediately and stop using it. Otherwise, it may lead to battery leakage,
overheating, explosion, or fire.
• If the power cable is damaged (for example, the cord is exposed or
broken), or the plug loosens, stop using the cable at once. Otherwise, it
may lead to an electric shock, a short circuit of the charger, or a fire.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire as they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the
battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire,
explosion or other hazard.
• Avoid dropping the device or battery. If the device or battery is dropped,
especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a
qualified service center for inspection.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.
• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
• The device should only be connected to products that bear the USB-IF
logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• The device, battery, and charger are not water-resistant. Keep them dry.
Protect the device, battery, and charger from water or vapor. Do not touch
the device or the charger with a wet hand. Otherwise, it may lead to a short
circuit, a malfunction of the device, and an electric shock to the user.
• Do not place your device, battery, and charger in places where they can
get damaged because of collision. Otherwise, it may lead to battery
leakage, device malfunction, overheating, fire, or explosion.
• Do not place magnetic storage media such as magnetic cards and floppy
disks near the device. Radiation from the device may erase the
information stored on them.
• Do not leave your device, battery, and charger in a place with an extreme
high or low temperature. Otherwise, they may not function properly and
may lead to a fire or an explosion. When the temperature is lower than
0°C, performance of the battery is affected.
• Do not place sharp metal objects such as pins near the earpiece. The
earpiece may attract these objects and hurt you when you are using the
device.
• Before you clean or maintain the device, power off the device and
disconnect it from the charger.
• Do not use any chemical detergent, powder, or other chemical agents
(such as alcohol and benzene) to clean the device and the charger.
Otherwise, parts of the device may be damaged or a fire can be caused.
