Protecting your hearing when using a headset
• To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
• 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.
• 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.
Areas with flammables and explosives
• Turn off your device in potentially explosive environments instead of removing the battery.
Always comply with regulations, instructions and signs in potentially explosive environments.
• Do not use your device at refueling points (petrol stations), near fuels or chemicals, or in blasting
areas.
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment
as the device, its parts, or accessories.
Traffic security
• Observe local laws and regulations while using the device. To reduce the risk of accidents, do
not use your wireless device while driving.
• Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive safely.
• Do not hold the device while driving. Use hands-free accessories.
• When you must make or answer a call, pull of the road safely and park the vehicle first.
• RF signals may affect the electronic systems of motor vehicles. For more information, consult
the vehicle manufacturer.
• Do not place the device over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area in a motor vehicle.
Doing so may hurt you because of the strong force when the air bag inflates.
• On an aircraft, using electronic devices can interfere with the aircraft’s electronic navigational
instruments. Make sure the device is turned off during takeoff and landing. After takeoff, you can
use the device in flight mode if allowed by aircraft personnel.
Operating environment
• Do not expose the device to heavy smoke or fumes. Doing so may damage the outside of the
device or cause it to malfunction.
• Do not use or store your device in areas with high concentrations of dust or airborne materials.
Dust or foreign materials can cause your device to malfunction and may result in fire or electric
shock.
• Do not use your device during thunderstorms to protect your device against any danger caused
by lightning.
• Avoid exposing your device and battery to very cold or very hot temperatures. Extreme
temperatures can damage the device and reduce the charging capacity and life of your device
and battery.
• Prevent the battery from coming into contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection
between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery
damage.
• Do not expose your device to direct sunlight (such as on a car dashboard) for prolonged periods.
• To protect your device or accessories from fire or electrical shock hazards, avoid rain and
moisture.
