Safety information Phone care Do not attempt to open the phone casing. There are no user serviceable parts inside and you might damage sensitive electronic circuits and components. Unauthorized disassembly will void the warranty. Do not leave your phone exposed to strong sunlight or excessive heat for a prolonged period. This may damage it. Do not handle your phone with wet hands or expose it to moisture or liquids of any kind.
• Never soak the battery in water or any other liquid. • Never try to open the battery as it contains substances that might be harmful if swallowed or allowed to come into contact with unprotected skin. • Never short-circuit the battery, as it may overheat and cause a fire. Keep it away from jewellery and other metal objects. • Never dispose of the battery in fire. It could explode and release harmful substances into the environment. • Never dispose of the battery with your regular household waste.
• Do not short circuit the contact points or expose it to liquids or moisture. When not in use, keep it in an antistatic container. • Do not use force when inserting or handling the card, and do not expose it to excessive heat or strong magnetic fields. Cleaning and storing • Your phone should always be handled with care and protected from dirt, dust and dampness. To avoid scratches, never place your phone face down.
In the interest of safety, we would recommend the use of a cradle while using any form of handsfree accessory. While driving, we recommend that you use voicemail wherever possible, and that you listen to your messages when you are not in the car. If you must make a handsfree call when driving, keep it brief. Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. An airbag inflates with great force.
Other medical devices 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 your phone off in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a ‘blasting area’ or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive environments Turn your phone off when in any area with a potentially explosive environment and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
