SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The unit and the accessories can contain small parts. Keep all of the equipment out of the reach of small children.
The mains adapter is the disconnect device between the product and mains power. The mains socket outlet must be close to the equipment and easily accessible.

Network services and costs
Your device is approved for use on the WCDMA 900/2100 MHz, GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz networks. To use the device, you need a subscription with a service provider.
Using network services may result in traffic costs. Some product features require support from the network, and you may need to subscribe to them.

Operating environment
Follow the rules and laws that apply wherever you are, and always turn off the unit whenever its use is prohibited or can cause interference or hazards. Only use the unit in its normal user position.
Parts of the unit are magnetic. The unit can attract metal objects. Do not keep credit cards or other magnetic media near the unit. There is a risk that information stored on them can be erased.

Medical units
The use of equipment that transmits radio signals, for example, mobile phones, can interfere with insufficiently protected medical equipment. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the equipment to determine if it has adequate protection against external radio signals, or if you have any questions.
If notices have been put up at health care facilities instructing you to turn off the unit while you are there, you should comply. Hospitals and other health care facilities sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive to external radio signals.

Implanted medical devices
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15 cm between a wireless device and the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:

• Always keep the wireless device more than 15 cm from the medical device.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone off immediately. If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.

Areas with explosion risk
Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there is a risk of explosion. Follow all signs and instructions. There is a risk of explosion in places that include areas where you are normally requested to turn off your car engine. In these areas, sparks can cause explosion or fire which can lead to personal injury or even death.
Turn off the unit at filling stations, and any other place that has fuel pumps and auto repair facilities.
Follow the restrictions that apply to the use of radio equipment near places where fuel is stored and sold, chemical factories and places where blasting is in progress. Areas with risk for explosion are often – but not always – clearly marked. This also applies to below decks on ships; the transport or storage of chemicals; vehicles that use liquid fuel (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder.

Li-ion battery
This product contains a Li-ion battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled improperly.

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, expose to temperature above 60°C (140°F), or dispose of in fire or water. Recycle or dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.

Protect your hearing


Excessive exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing damage.
Exposure to loud sounds while driving may distract your attention and cause an accident.
Listen to a headset at a moderate level, and do not hold the device near your ear when the loudspeaker is in use.

Emergency calls

Mobile phones use radio signals, the mobile phone network, the terrestrial network and user-programmed functions. This means that connection cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances. Therefore, never rely only on a mobile phone for very important calls such as medical emergencies.

Vehicles
Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, air bag systems) that have been incorrectly installed or are inadequately protected. Contact the manufacturer or its representative for more information about your vehicle or any additional equipment.
