General Guidelines
• In some countries national law
prevents unapproved private copying of
copyrighted material. Please check the
national legislation of the applicable
country concerning the use of such
material.
• Many jurisdictions have laws and
regulations about taking pictures in
public or private areas and regarding
the processing and further use of such
pictures. The manufacturer encourages
its customers to obey all laws and to
respect the personal rights of others.
• Please check the roaming agreement
availability with your service provider.
• The use of mobile phones is not allowed
in some radiation sensitive areas, such as
hospitals, research centers and airplanes.
The user is responsible for turning off
the device. If there is any uncertainty,
you should remove the battery from
the handset.
• Observe any signs that indicate that you
must turn off your phone, such as those
near gas stations or explosives and turn
off the phone immediately.
• If you have a heart condition, be careful
with the settings for call vibration or
tone volume.
• Do not allow children to play with the
phone, charger, or batteries.
• Do not use the phone where blasting is
in progress.
• Do not try to make a call if the
temperature of the charging battery is
above 113°F.
• Take care not to put your phone in the
back pocket of your trousers or skirt and
then sit on it. In addition, do not put your
phone at the bottom of a bag where
it may be subject to excessive weight
or pressure. Doing so may damage the
LCD and camera lens and cause them to
malfunction.
• The operation of some medical electronic
devices, such as hearing aids and
pacemakers, may be affected if a phone
is used next to them. Observe any
caution signs and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Do not leave the phone discharged or
without a battery for a long time. Doing
so may cause some data to be erased.
• Your phone contains metal, which may
cause you to itch, or have a rash or
eczema depending on your physical
condition.
Road Safety
• You must exercise proper control of
your vehicle at all times. Give your full
attention to driving.
• Observe all of the recommendations
contained in your local traffic safety code.
• Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call, if driving conditions
require this to be done.
• Check whether local laws and/or
regulations restrict the use of phones
while driving.
• You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder
of a highway to answer or make a call,
except in an emergency.
• Switch off your phone at a refueling
point, such as a gas station, even if you
are not refueling your own car.
• Do not store or carry flammable or
explosive materials in the same
compartment as the phone.
• Electronic vehicle systems, such as
anti-lock brakes, speed control, and
fuel injection systems are not normally
affected by radio transmissions. The
manufacturer of such equipment can
advise if it is adequately shielded from
radio transmissions. If you suspect
vehicle problems are being caused by
radio transmissions, consult your dealer
and do not switch on the handset until it
has been checked by qualified, approved
installers.
Vehicles Equipped with
an Airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not
place objects, including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the airbag or in the airbag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the airbag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Third-Party Equipment
The use of third-party equipment, cables or
accessories, not made or authorized by the
manufacturer, may invalidate the warranty of
your handset and also adversely affect the
handset’s operation. For example, use only
the manufacturer’s power cable supplied
with the AC charger.
