15 Safety information
This section contains important information about the operation of your device. It also
contains information about how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully
before using your device.
Electronic device
Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device if doing so
causes danger or interference with other electronic devices.
Interference with medical equipment
Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do not use
your device where prohibited.
Some wireless devices may affect the performance of hearing aids or pacemakers.
Consult your service provider for more information.
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm be maintained
between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the pacemaker.
If using a pacemaker, hold the device on the side opposite the pacemaker and do not
carry the device in your front pocket.
Protecting your hearing when using a headset
Using a headset at high volumes may damage your hearing. To reduce this risk, lower
the headset volume to a safe and comfortable level.
Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause distraction and increase your risk of
an accident.
Areas with flammables and explosives
Do not use the device where flammables or explosives are stored (in a gas station, oil
depot, or chemical plant, for example). Using your device in these environments
increases the risk of explosion or fire. In addition, follow the instructions indicated in text
or symbols.

If the power cable is damaged (for example, the cord is exposed or broken), or the plug
loosens, stop using it at once. Continued use may lead to electric shocks, short circuits,
or fire.
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands or pull the power cord to disconnect the
charger.
Do not touch the device or the charger with wet hands. Doing so may lead to short

heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode if
overheated.
Do not attempt to modify or remanufacture the battery, insert foreign objects into it, or
immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Doing so may lead to fire, explosion, or
other hazards.
If the battery leaks, ensure that the electrolyte does not make direct contact with your
skins or eyes. If the electrolyte touches your skins or splashes into your eyes,
