During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually below the indicated values. The better
your network reception, the lower the wave emission of your phone (therefore, the operating power
of your phone is automatically decreased). Try to make phone calls when your network coverage
is 3 or 4 bars (indicated at top left).
The hands-free kit provided with the device can also help to reduce your radio wave exposure.
Privilege the use of your hands-free kit when making phone calls.
With a headset, pregnant women are advised to keep the phone away from the belly and teenagers
away from the lower abdomen.
If you decide to equip one of your children or adolescents with a mobile phone, it is advisable to
encourage them to make moderate and reasonable use of it, for example, by avoiding use at night
and limiting the frequency and duration of phone calls. Also, be sure to inform them of the methods
previously noted to reduce their radio wave exposure during phone calls.
14.4 Precautions for use while driving
Road safety is your priority. Check the laws and regulations concerning the use of mobile phones
at the wheel in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Use the hands-free function of the phone, if available. Pull off the road and park before making or
answering calls if conditions so require. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
14.5 Medical devices/pacemakers
When using your phone near pacemakers, stay a minimum distance of more than 6 inches away
from the pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
Do not carry your phone in your chest pocket. Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference and remember to switch off the mobile phone if necessary.
If you use any other personal medical device, please consult the manufacturer of your device to
find out whether it is adequately shielded from radio frequency energy.
In facilities with special rules, such as hospitals or health care facilities, comply with the restrictions
on the use of mobile phones. Switch off your phone if required.
14.6 Hearing protection
This device has been successfully tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement
according to the applicable standard EN 50332-1:2013.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long
periods.
WARNING: Excessive exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing damage. Exposure
to loud sounds while driving may distract your attention and cause an accident. Set
your headset at a moderate level and do not hold your device near your ear when the
loudspeaker is turned on.
14.7 Precautions for electronic devices
Some electronic devices are susceptible to electromagnetic interferences from mobile phones if
inadequately shielded, such as the electronic system of vehicles; consult the manufacturers of devices
before using the phone, if necessary.
14.8 Precautions for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone prior to entering any area with potentially explosive atmospheres, such as
fuelling areas, or fuel or chemical storage or transfer facilities. Do not remove, install, or charge
batteries in such areas.
