7 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.
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.
 Do not store or transport the device in containers with flammable liquids, gases, or
explosives.
Operating environment
 Avoid dusty, damp, or dirty environments. Avoid magnetic fields. Using the device in
these environments may result in circuit malfunctions.
 Before connecting and disconnecting cables, stop using the device and disconnect it
from the power supply. Ensure that your hands are dry during operation.
 Place the device on a stable surface.
 Keep the device away from electronic appliances that generate strong magnetic or
electric fields, such as a microwave oven or refrigerator.
 During thunderstorms, power off your device and remove all cables connected to it to
protect against lightning strikes.
 Do not use your device during thunderstorms to protect your device against any

12
 danger caused by lightning.
 Ideal operating temperatures are 0°C to 40°C. Ideal storage temperatures are -20°C
to +70°C. Extreme heat or cold may damage your device or accessories.
 Keep the device and accessories in a well-ventilated and cool area away from direct
sunlight. Do not enclose or cover your device with towels or other objects. Do not
place the device in a container with poor heat dissipation, such as a box or bag.
 To protect your device or accessories from fire or electrical shock hazards, avoid rain
and moisture.
 Keep the device away from sources of heat and fire, such as a heater, microwave
oven, stove, water heater, radiator, or candle.
 Do not place any object, such as a candle or a water container, on the device. If any
foreign object or liquid enters the device, immediately stop using it, power it off, and
remove all cables connected to it. Then, contact an authorized service center.
 Do not block device openings. Reserve a minimum of 10 cm around the device to
dissipate heat.
 Stop using your device or applications for a while if the device is overheated. If skin is
exposed to an overheated device for an extended period, low temperature burn
symptoms, such as red spots and darker pigmentation, may occur.
 Do not touch the device's antenna. Otherwise, communication quality may be
reduced.
 Do not allow children or pets to bite or suck the device or accessories. Doing so may
result in damage or explosion.
 Observe local laws and regulations, and respect the privacy and legal rights of others.
 The device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm
between the radiator and your body.
 Keep the device in a place with good reception. The distance between the device and
other metal materials (such as metal brackets or metal doors and windows) should be
greater than 25 cm and the distance between the device should be greater than 30
cm.
Child's safety
 Comply with all precautions with regard to child's safety. Letting children play with
the device or its accessories may be dangerous. The device includes detachable parts
that may present a choking hazard. Keep away from children.
 The device and its accessories are not intended for use by children. Children should
only use the device with adult supervision.
Accessories
 Using an unapproved or incompatible power adapter, charger or battery may cause
fire, explosion or other hazards.

13
 Choose only accessories approved for use with this model by the device manufacturer.
The use of any other types of accessories may void the warranty, may violate local
regulations and laws, and may be dangerous. Please contact your retailer for
information about the availability of approved accessories in your area.
Power adapter safety
 The power plug is intended to serve as a disconnect device.
 For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the devices and shall
be easily accessible.
 Unplug the power adapter from electrical outlets and the device when not in use.
 Do not drop or cause an impact to the power adapter. If it is damaged, take it to an
authorized service center for inspection.
 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 power adapter.
 Do not touch the device or the power adapter with wet hands. Doing so may lead to
short circuits, malfunctions, or electric shocks.
 If your power adapter has been exposed to water, other liquids, or excessive moisture,
take it to an authorized service center for inspection.
 Ensure that the power adapter meets the requirements of Clause 2.5 in
IEC60950-1/EN60950-1/UL60950-1 and has been tested and approved according to
national or local standards.
Cleaning and maintenance
 During storage, transportation, and operation of the device, keep it dry and protect it
from collision.
 Keep the device and accessories dry. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat
source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.
 Do not expose your device or accessories to extreme heat or cold. These
environments may interfere with proper function and may lead to fire or explosion.
 Avoid collision, which may lead to device malfunctions, overheating, fire, or
explosion.
 If the device is not going to be used for an extended period of time, power it off, and
remove all cables connected to it.
 If anything unusual occurs (for example, if the device emits smoke or any unusual
sound or smell), immediately stop using it, power it off, remove all cables connected
to it, and contact an authorized service center.
 Do not trample, pull, or excessively bend any cable. Doing so may damage the cable,

14
 causing the device to malfunction.
 Before you clean or maintain the device, stop using it, stop all applications, and
disconnect all cables connected to it.
 Do not use any chemical detergent, powder, or other chemical agents (such as
alcohol and benzene) to clean the device or accessories. These substances may cause
damage to parts or present a fire hazard. Use a clean, soft, and dry cloth to clean the
device and accessories.
 Do not place magnetic stripe cards, such as credit cards and phone cards, near the
device for extended periods of time. Otherwise the magnetic stripe cards may be
damaged.
