Warnings and precautions - 57

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and

always switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it

may cause interference or danger. Use the device only in its normal

operating positions. To successfully transmit data files or messages,

this device requires a good quality connection to the network. In some

cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until

such a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation

distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.

Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted

to the device, and persons with hearing aids should not hold the

device to the ear with the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or

other magnetic storage media near the device, because information

stored on them may be erased.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless

phones, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected

medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the

medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded from

external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your

device 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 transmissions.

Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum

separation of 15.3 cm (6") be maintained between wireless devices

and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.

These recommendations are consistent with the independent

research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers should do the following:

• Always keep the device more than 15.3 cm (6") from the pacemaker.

Important

For safety reasons, turn off all wireless or radio transmitting devices

when using your phone device under the following conditions. These

devices may include, but are not limited to: Wireless LAN (WLAN),

Bluetooth and/or cellular.

58 - Warnings and precautions

• Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is

switched on. If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and

move it.

Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some

hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded

electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection

systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic

speed control systems, and air bag systems. For more information,

check with the manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or

any equipment that has been added. Only qualified personnel should

service the device, or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation

or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that

may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless equipment

in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or

carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same

compartment as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles

equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate with great

force. Do not place objects, including installed or portable wireless

equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment

area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed, and the

air bag inflates, serious injury could result. Using your device while

flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before boarding

an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be

dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless

telephone network, and may be illegal.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive

atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive

atmospheres include areas where you would normally be advised to

turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an

explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the

device at refueling points such as near gas pumps at service stations.

operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive

atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include

below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles

using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas

where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or

metal powders.

Follow any restrictions. Do not use the device where blasting is in

progress.

Emergency calls

If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features

off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your

service provider for more information.

When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information

as accurately as possible. Your wireless device may be the only

means of communication at the scene of an accident. Do not end the

call until given permission to do so.

Taking care of your phone

1. DO take care not to scratch the screen of your phone. Keep the

screen clean. When working with your phone, use your finger or

fingernail. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object

on the screen surface.

2. DO NOT expose your phone to rain or moisture. Do not let water

enter the circuitry. In general, treat your phone as you would any

other small electronic device.

3. DO be careful not to drop your phone or subject it to any strong

impact. Do not place your phone in your back pocket.

Important

Wireless phones, including this device, operate using radio signals,

wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed functions.

Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.

You should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential

communications like medical emergencies.

60 - Warnings and precautions

4. DO NOT expose your phone to extreme temperatures. For example,

do not leave your phone on the dashboard of a car on a hot day or

when temperatures are below freezing point. Also, keep it away

from heaters and other sources of heat.

5. DO NOT use or store your phone in any location that is dusty, damp

or wet.

6. DO use a soft, damp cloth to clean your phone. If the surface of the

screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with

diluted window-cleaning solution.

7. DO NOT press down on the screen with force, otherwise you may

crack the screen.
