User's Manual

Safety and use .................

We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using

your phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage,

which may result as a consequence of improper use or use

contrary to the instructions contained herein.

• TRAFFIC SAFETY:

Given that studies show that using a mobile phone 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 mobile when the vehicle is not parked.

When driving, do not use your phone and headphone to listen to

music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and

forbidden in some areas.

When switched on, your phone 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 phone 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 mobile

phone RF energy.

• CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to

optimize its performance.

Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.

Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities,

except in designated areas. As with many other types of

equipment now in regular use, mobile telephones can interfere

with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using

radio frequency.

Switch the phone 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 phone 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 phone,

you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the

device, if any.

To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your

phone to your ear. Also, move the handset away from your ear

while using the "hands-free" mode because the amplified volume

might cause hearing damage.
