User Safety
Operational Warnings
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. Read this information
before using your smartphone. For the safe and efficient operation of your smartphone, observe
these guidelines:
Potentially explosive atmospheres:
Turn off your smartphone when you are in any areas with
a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fueling areas (gas or petrol stations, below deck on
boats), storage facilities for fuel or chemicals, blasting areas and areas near electrical blasting
caps, and areas where there are chemicals or particles (such as metal powders, grains, and
dust) in the air.
Interference to medical and personal Electronic Devices:
Most but not all electronic
equipment is shielded from RF signals and certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your smartphone.
Pacemakers:
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 centimeters be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by the recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should do the following:
Audio Safety:
This smartphone is capable of producing loud noises which may damage your
hearing. When using the speakerphone feature, it is recommended that you place your
smartphone at a safe distance from your ear.
Other Medical Devices, Hospitals:
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in
health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Repetitive Motion Injuries:
When using the keyboard or playing games on your smartphone,
you may experience discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms, or other parts of the body.
To avoid any injury, such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal
disorder, make sure to take necessary breaks from use, take longer rests (such as several hours)
if discomfort or tiring begins, and see a doctor if discomfort persists. To minimize the risk of
Repetitive Motion Injuries, when texting or playing games with your smartphone:
• Do not grip the smartphone too tightly
• Press the buttons lightly
• Make use of the special features in the handset which minimize the number of buttons which
have to be pressed, such as message templates and predictive text
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax
