Safety information
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using
your device. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage,
which may result as a consequence of improper use or use
contrary to the instructions contained here.
•TRAFFIC SAFETY
Given that studies show that using a device while driving a
vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is
used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from
using their device when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your device or headphone to
listen to music. Using a headphone can be dangerous and
forbidden in some areas. When switched on, your device emits
electromagnetic waves that can interfere with the vehicle’s
electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To
ensure that there is no problem:
- do not place your device on top of the dashboard or within an
airbag deployment area,
- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make
sure that the dashboard is adequately shielded from device
RF energy.
•CONDITIONS OF USE
You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to
optimize its performance.
Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities, except
in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now
in regular use, these devices can interfere with other electrical
or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequencies.
Switch the device off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot,
petrol station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive
atmosphere.
When the device is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm
from any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or
insulin pump, etc. In particular when using the device, you should
hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
