Vehicle safety
• Respect national regulations on the use of mobile telephones in vehicles.
• Road safety always comes first! Always give your full attention to driving.
• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. If you do not have a ‘hands free’
car kit, stop and park your vehicle safely before using your phone.
• If equipped with a correctly installed vehicle kit allowing ‘hands free’ operation
and you need to make or receive a call, ensure that it is done sensibly and safely.
Use pre-programmed numbers where possible and keep calls short and routine.
• If incorrectly installed in a vehicle the operation of mobile telephones can
interfere with the correct operation of the vehicle electronics, such as ABS anti-
lock brakes or air bags. To avoid such problems ensure that only qualified
personnel carry out the installation. Verification of the protection and operation
of the vehicle electronics should form part of the installation. If in doubt consult
the manufacturer.
• Do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it could break loose dur-
ing sudden breaking or a collision. Always use the holder.
• The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle's lights or horn on public roads is
not permitted.
Emergency calls
In Europe, provided the phone has GSM service, emergency calls can be made using
the European standard emergency number, 112, even if you do not have a SIM in
the phone. Emergency calls can even be made if the phone is PIN or electronically
locked or call barred. In some countries local emergency numbers can still be used
for emergency purposes but the phone may have to contain a valid SIM card.
When making an emergency call remember to give all the necessary information as
accurately as possible. The phone may be the only means of communication at the
scene of an emergency therefore do not cut off the call until told to do so.
Care and maintenance
This mobile telephone is the product of advanced engineering, design and crafts-
manship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below can help you to
enjoy this product for many years.
• Do not expose the phone to any extreme environment where the temperature
or humidity is high.
• Do not expose or store in cold temperatures. When the phone warms up after
switch on, to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside which can dam-
age the electrical parts.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the phone. There are no user serviceable parts
inside.
• Do not expose the phone to water, rain or spilt beverages. It is not waterproof.
Mobile phones rely on wireless and landline networks which cannot be guaranteed in all condi-
tions. Therefore you should never rely solely on wireless phones for essential emergency communi-
cations.
