injuries or damage to your device.
Never dispose of the battery or device in a fire. Follow all local
•
regulations when disposing of used battery or device.
Never place the battery or device on or in heating devices, such as
•
microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. The device may explode when
overheated.
18
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.

•
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

•
capacity and life of your device and battery.

regulations regarding mobile device usage
while operating a vehicle
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never
use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your
safety and the safety of others, use your common sense and remember
the following tips:
20

If your device falls, it may be damaged.
Do not store your device in very hot or very cold areas. It is
recommended to use your device at temperatures from 5 °C to
35 °C

•
time (on the dashboard of a car, for example).

•
Do not store your device with metal objects, such as coins, keys,

Your device may be scratched or may malfunction.•
If the battery terminals come into contact with metal objects, this may •
cause a fire.
Do not store your device near magnetic fields
Your device may malfunction or the battery may discharge from •
exposure to magnetic fields.
Magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks,
•
and boarding passes, may be damaged by magnetic fields.
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.
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.
Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is already on, turn
•
it off and remove the battery immediately (if the device will not turn off
or you cannot remove the battery, leave it as-is). Then, dry the device
with a towel and take it to a service centre.
Liquids will change the colour of the label that indicates water
•
damage inside the device. Water damage to your device can void your
manufacturer’s warranty.
