the use of wireless devices while driving.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).
• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure guidelines and should be
avoided.
Interference with medical equipment functions
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical
clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF 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 energy.
Nonionizing radiation
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative
performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be
allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modifi ed antennas may impair call quality and damage the
phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with
local regulatory requirements in your country. To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the
antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with
the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.

board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to Airplane Mode.
Environment restrictions
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially
explosive atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be
aware that sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fi re resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Explosive atmospheres
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where fl ammable materials exist, the product should be turned
off and the user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fi re resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to
observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck
on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders.
