Safety precautions
7
• If you wear headphones whilst out walking or running, please ensure that the cord does not wrap itself
around your body or objects on your person.
• Only wear headphones in dry environments. The static electricity which builds up on the headphones can
discharge via your ears as an electric shock. The static electricity can discharge if you touch the head-
phones with your hand or touch bare metal before connecting with the mobile phone.
Use in hospitals / medical devices
• The function of medical equipment near your mobile phone can be impaired. Bear in mind the technical
conditions of the environment in question (such as in doctors’ surgery).
• If you use a medical device such as a pacemaker, please consult the manufacturer of the product before
using your mobile phone. You will be provided information on the sensitivity of the device to external,
high-frequency energy sources.
• Heart pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators:
When you switch on your mobile phone, ensure that the distance between the phone and an implant is at
least 152 mm. To reduce potential interference, use the mobile phone on the opposite side to the implant.
Please switch the mobile phone off immediately if interference occurs. Do not keep the mobile phone in
a shirt pocket.
• Hearing aids, cochlear implants:
Some digital wireless devices can interfere with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Please consult the
manufacturers of these products if interference occurs.
• Other medical devices:
If you and the people around you use other medical devices, please contact the relevant manufacturer for
information on whether such devices are protected from radio frequency signals in the environment. You
can also consult your doctor about this.
Emergency calls
• Make sure the mobile phone is switched on and connected to the GSM network. Enter the emergency
number as required and speak.
• Tell the person at the emergency call centre your location.
• Do not end the conversation until the person at the emergency call centre asks you to.
Children and pets
• Keep the mobile phone, chargers and accessories out of the reach of children and pets. Children and/or
pets can swallow the small parts, posing a risk of suffocation and other hazards. A child may only use the
mobile phone under the supervision of an adult.
Playing games
• Playing games on the mobile phone for long periods may mean assuming an unhealthy body posture.
Take a 15 minute break every hour. Stop immediately if you feel unwell during game play. Consult a doctor
straight away if your condition persists.
Aeroplanes, vehicles and road safety
• Switch off your mobile phone in aeroplanes.
Please observe applicable restrictions and regulations. Wireless devices can interfere with the function of
aeronautical equipment. Follow the instructions issued by flight personnel when using your mobile
phone.
• The absolute priority for every vehicle driver and everyone in a vehicle is safety on the roads and for road
users.
Using a mobile phone whilst driving can be distracting and therefore lead to dangerous situations. You
can also be violating applicable laws.
SIM card, memory card and data connector cable
• Do not remove the card from the mobile phone whilst data is being sent or received as this presents a risk
of data loss and damage to the mobile phone or memory card.
• Charges might apply when establishing Internet connections via the SIM card.
