Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of devices in the area when you drive.
Ţ %POPUVTFBIBOEIFMEEFWJDFXIJMFESJWJOH
Ţ Give full attention to driving.
Ţ Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
Ţ RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car
stereos and safety equipment.
Ţ When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed
or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious
injury due to improper performance.
Ţ If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the volume
is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of
particular importance when near roads.

Avoid damage to your hearing
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods.
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long
periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the
handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set
to a reasonable level.
Ţ When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people
speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are
listening to.
Ţ Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.

Ţ Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but
you have your Google account on it, the device can’t finish the setup
process until your Google account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you’ll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
Ţ Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to
your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can’t provide the
account information during the setup process, you won’t be able to use
the device at all after performing the factory reset.
