WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
This section contains important information relating to the operating instructions for this device. It also
contains information about how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully before using the
device.
WATERPROOF CASING
USB, headset jack and battery covers must be securely in place, to ensure the device is waterproof.
DO NOT USE YOUR DEVICE IN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
Power off the device if you’re in a situation where using it is prohibited, for example:
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities – this is to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
• Medical devices - please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your
device may interfere with the operation of your medical device. Follow the rules and regulations set forth by
hospitals and healthcare facilities.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm be maintained between a device
and a pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the pacemaker. If you have a pacemaker, use the
device on the opposite side of the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
• Aircraft – consult airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft. If your device offers a
‘flight mode’, this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
• Cars – due to the possibility of interference with electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones unless an external antenna is included in the installation.
• Other devices – do not use your device in a place where it could cause damage or interfere with other
electronic devices.
• ‘Blasting’ caps and areas – turn off your device or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas signed
to turn off ‘two-way radios’ or ‘electronic devices’ to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
• Potentially explosive atmosphere – power off the device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
and comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that may have potentially explosive atmospheres include the
areas where it is advised to turn off a vehicle engine. Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or a fire, resulting in bodily injuries or even death. Do not turn on the device at refueling points such
as service stations. Comply with restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas, and chemical plants. In addition, adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations
are in progress. Before using your device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive atmospheres that
are often, but not always, clearly marked. Such locations include areas below the deck on boats, chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or
metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
whether this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
•A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one
before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when using LED flashlight, playing games or
watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, you
should consult your doctor before using those functions.
