external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and overheating.
Safety information
114
Protect the device and chargers from damage
Avoid exposing your device to very cold or very hot temperatures.•
Extreme temperatures can damage the device and reduce the charging •
capacity and life of your device and batteries.
Never use a damaged charger.•
Caution: Follow all safety warnings and
regulations when using your device in restricted
areas
Do not use your device near other electronic devices
Most electronic devices use radio frequency signals. Your device may interfere
with other electronic devices.
Do not use your device near a pacemaker
Avoid using your device within a 15 cm range of a pacemaker, if possible, as •
your device can interfere with the pacemaker.
To minimise possible interference with a pacemaker, use your device only on •
the side of your body that is opposite the pacemaker.
Do not use your device in a hospital or near medical equipment
that can be interfered with by radio frequency
If you use medical equipment, contact the equipment manufacturer before
using your device to determine whether or not the equipment will be affected
by radio frequencies emitted by the device.
If you use a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for information
about radio interference

the safety of others, use your common sense and remember the following tips:
Position your device within easy reach. Make sure you can access your •
wireless device without taking your eyes off the road.
Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, •
snow, ice, and heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do list or •
flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility of driving safely.
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or •
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be •
distracting. Make the person you are talking to aware that you are driving
and suspend conversations that could potentially divert your attention from
the road.
Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the case of •
fire, traffic accidents, or medical emergencies.
Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see a car accident, a •
crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives are in danger, call a
local emergency number.
Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance number •
when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured,
or a vehicle that you know to be stolen, call a number that is designated for
reporting these types of situations.
Safety information
116
Proper care and use of your mobile device
Keep your device dry
Humidity and liquids may damage the parts or electronic circuits in your •
device.

temperature burn symptoms, such as red spots and pigmentation.
If your device has a camera flash or light, do not use it close to the
eyes of people or pets
Using a flash close to the eyes may cause temporary loss of vision or damage to
the eyes.
Use caution when exposed to flashing lights
While using your device, leave some lights on in the room and do not hold •
the screen too close to your eyes.
