15 Safety information
This section contains important information about the operation of your device. It also
contains information about how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully
before using your device.
Electronic device
Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device if doing so
causes danger or interference with other electronic devices.
Interference with medical equipment
Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do not use
your device where prohibited.
Some wireless devices may affect the performance of hearing aids or pacemakers.
Consult your service provider for more information.
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 using a pacemaker, hold the device on the side opposite the pacemaker and do not
carry the device in your front pocket.
Protecting your hearing when using a headset
Using a headset at high volumes may damage your hearing. To reduce this risk, lower
the headset volume to a safe and comfortable level.
Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause distraction and increase your risk of
an accident.
Areas with flammables and explosives
Do not use the device where flammables or explosives are stored (in a gas station, oil
depot, or chemical plant, for example). Using your device in these environments
increases the risk of explosion or fire. In addition, follow the instructions indicated in text
or symbols.
Do not store or transport the device in containers with flammable liquids, gases, or
explosives.

RF signals may affect the electronic systems of motor vehicles. For more information,
consult the vehicle manufacturer.
Do not place the device over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area in a motor
vehicle. Doing so may hurt you because of the strong force when the air bag inflates.
Do not use your device while flying in an aircraft or immediately before boarding. Using
wireless devices in an aircraft may disrupt wireless networks, present a hazard to aircraft
operation, or be illegal.
Operating environment
Avoid dusty, damp, or dirty environments. Avoid magnetic fields. Using the device in
these environments may result in circuit malfunctions.
