> |  | Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If already in contact, DO NOT rub; rinse with clean water immediately and seek medical advice.

> |  | Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as there is a danger of ignition or explosion.

> Safety Precautions for Direct Sunlight

> Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not leave the product or its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 60°C (140°F), such as on a car dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle.

> Prevention of Hearing Loss

> CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.

> Road Safety

> Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.

> Safety Precautions for RF Exposure

> | Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).

> | Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

> | Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal.

> | Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

> Interference with Medical Equipment Functions

> This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.

> If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

> Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

> Nonionizing Radiation

> Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.

> Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.

> To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
