Use and Safety Precautions
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before use. The
manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage which may result as a
consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions
contained herein.
TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given recent studies, which show that using a mobile telephone while
driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is
used (car kit, headset…), drivers are requested to refrain from using their
mobile phone when the vehicle is not parked.
Your mobile phone when powered emits radiation which may interfere
with the vehicle electronic systems such as anti-lock brakes (ABS, airbag).
As a result, you should:
- avoid placing the phone on the dashboard and within an airbag deploying
area.
- connect the phone to an external antenna. The antenna should be
mounted and located away from the driver and passengers or separated
from them by a metal screen (e.g. the car roof).
- check with the car manufacturer that the dashboard is adequately
shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
CONDITIONS OF USE:
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in
designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular
use, mobile phones can interfere with other electrical or electronic
devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
