Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your mobile
device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. In an
aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline
staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult
airline staff about using it in flight.
Switch the mobile 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 phones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or
equipment using radio frequency.
Switch the mobile phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids.
Strictly obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station,
or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the mobile 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. In particular when using the mobile phone you should hold it
against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable
medical device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device
with your implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your mobile
phone to your ear. Also move the handset away from your ear while
using the “hands-free” option because the amplified volume might cause
hearing damage.
It is recommended to have proper supervision while small children use your
mobile phone.
When replacing the cover please note that your mobile phone may
contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your mobile phone with care and keep it in a clean and
dust-free place.
Safety and use12 ...............
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your
mobile 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
phone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations
on the use of wireless mobile phones and their accessories in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be
prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
When driving, do not use your mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 car’s
electronic devices are shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to
optimize its performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on
aircrafts.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in
public areas.
