others, use your common sense and remember the following tips:
Health and Safety
93
•
Position your device within easy reach. Make sure you can access your wireless device
without taking your eyes off the road.
•
Suspend use in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of
driving safely.
Care for and use your mobile device properly
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.
Store your device only on flat surfaces
•
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
•
Do not store your device in very hot areas such as inside a car in the summertime. Doing
so may cause the screen to malfunction, result in damage to the device, or cause the
battery to explode.
•
Do not expose your device to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (on the
dashboard of a car, for example).
•
Store the battery at temperatures from 0 °C to 45 °C.
Do not store your device with metal objects, such as coins, keys, and necklaces
•
Your device may be scratched or may malfunction.
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.
Health and Safety
94
Do not use your device or applications for a while if the device is overheated
•
Prolonged exposure of your skin to an overheated device may cause low temperature
burn symptoms, such as red spots and pigmentation.
Use caution when exposed to flashing lights
•
While using your device, leave some lights on in the room and do not hold the screen too
close to your eyes.
•
Seizures or blackouts can occur when you are exposed to flashing lights while watching
videos or playing Flash-based games for extended periods. If you feel any discomfort,
stop using the device immediately.
•
If anyone related to you has experienced seizures or blackouts while using a similar
device, consult a physician before using the device.
•
If you feel discomfort, such as a muscle spasm, or disoriented, stop using the device
immediately and consult a physician.
•
To prevent eye strain, take frequent breaks while using the device.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
When you repetitively perform actions, such as pressing keys, drawing characters on a touch
screen with your fingers, or playing games, you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, neck, shoulders, or other parts of your body. When using your device for extended
periods, hold the device with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, and take frequent breaks. If
you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop using the device and consult a
physician.
Protect your hearing and ears when using a headset
•

Exposure to loud sounds while walking may distract your attention and cause an
accident.
•
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio source and
use only the minimum volume setting necessary to hear your conversation or music.
•
In dry environments, static electricity can build up in the headset. Avoid using headsets
in dry environments or touch a metal object to discharge static electricity before
connecting a headset to the device.
•
Do not use a headset while driving or riding. Doing so may distract your attention and
cause an accident, or may be illegal depending on your region.
Use caution when using the device while walking or moving

Acknowledging Special Precautions and Industry Canada Notice
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your device not expressly approved in this document could
void your warranty for this equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only use approved batteries, antennas, and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories
may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if they cause damage or a defect to the
device.
Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken.
Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital
device. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
•
Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning: At very high volumes, prolonged listening to a headset can damage your
hearing.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Devices
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user
of a wireless device.
The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the device emits. All devices are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a device can be
substantially less than the level reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs
do not represent a variation in safety.
Health and Safety
100
All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety.
As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model devices do not mean
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered
safe for use by the public.
This device has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal and that positions the mobile device 0mm from the body.
