Safety Warnings
Safety Warnings
Read the following safety warnings carefully before using your cell phone.
l This equipment is intended for use with power supplied from the provided battery charger(s) and/or power supply unit(s). Other usage will invalidate
any certification given to this product and may be dangerous.
l Switch off your cell phone when in an aircraft. Use of cellphone in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, could disrupt cellular
networks, and may be illegal. Failure to observe this warning may lead to suspension or denial of cell phone services to the offender, legal action, or
both.
l Do not use the cell phone or cell phone equipment when you are at a refueling point or gas station.
l Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, gas stations, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.
l You MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle at all times. Observe the following safety precautions while driving:

l Do not speak into a hands-free microphone if it will distract you from driving.
l You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call, except in an emergency.

connecting it directly to a electric outlet. Fluctuations in electric current may damage the charger and/or the cell phone.
General Statement on RF Energy
Your cell phone has a transmitter and a receiver. When the cell phone is on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. When you communicate
using your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits RF energy.
