Driving and walking safely

Do not use your smartphone while you drive. Give your full attention to driving;

driving safely is your first responsibility. You are responsible for knowing and obeying

the laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless devices in the areas where

you drive.

Store your smartphone safely before driving your vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped

with an air bag, do not place your smartphone or any accessories above the air bag,

or in the air bag deployment area. If the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Radio frequency signals might affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded

electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the vehicle manufacturer or its

representative. If any equipment has been added to your vehicle, you should also

consult the manufacturer of that equipment for information on radio frequency

signals.

Do not use your smartphone while walking or engaging in any activity that requires

your full attention. Inattention to traffic or other pedestrian hazards could result in

serious harm, death, or property loss.

Accessories

Use only those accessories approved by the manufacturer for use with this particular

smartphone model. Using any accessories not approved might invalidate any

approval or warranty, might result in the smartphone becoming inoperative, and

might be dangerous.

Carrying solutions: Your smartphone might not come with a holster (body-worn

accessory). If you wear your smartphone on your body, always put your smartphone

in a smartphone holster equipped with an integrated belt clip supplied or approved

by the manufacturer. If you do not use a holster equipped with an integrated belt clip

supplied or approved by the manufacturer when you carry your smartphone, keep

your smartphone at least 0.39 in. (10 mm) from your body when the smartphone is

transmitting. When using any data feature of your smartphone (for example, email

messages, PIN messages, MMS messages, or browser service), with or without a

USB cable, hold your smartphone at least 0.39 in. (10 mm) from your body. Using

accessories that are not supplied by or approved by the manufacturer might cause

your smartphone to exceed radio frequency exposure guidelines. Whether there are

any long term health effects of exceeding radio frequency exposure standards is

a subject of ongoing scientific study. For more information about radio frequency

exposure, see the "Compliance information" section of this document.

Most the manufacturer approved carrying solutions for smartphones (for example,

holsters, totes, and pouches) incorporate a magnet. Do not place items containing

magnetic strip components, such as debit cards, credit cards, hotel key cards, phone

cards, or similar items, near such carrying solutions. The magnet might damage or

erase the data stored on the magnetic strip.

Magnetometer

Your smartphone includes a magnetometer. The magnetometer is used by

applications such as the Compass. Magnets or devices that contain magnets, such

as holsters, headphones, or monitors, might negatively affect the accuracy of the

magnetometer. Do not rely on applications that use the magnetometer to determine

your location, particularly in an emergency situation.

Media

Certain jurisdictions might prohibit or restrict your use of certain features on

your smartphone. When taking, processing, or using pictures, obey all laws,

regulations, procedures, and policies, including, without limitation, any applicable

your jurisdiction. Honor the personal rights of others. Copyright protections might

prevent you from copying, modifying, transferring, or forwarding some pictures,

music (including ring tones), or other content.

Audio files: Permanent hearing loss might occur if you listen to audio files at

high volumes, particularly with headphones. Avoid increasing the volume of your

headphones to block out noisy surroundings. If you experience ringing in your ears or

muffled speech, consult a physician.
