Safety information
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your
device. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which
may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the
instructions contained here.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY
Given that studies show that using a device 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 device when
the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your device or headphone to listen to music.
Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas. When
switched on, your device emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere
with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or
airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:
- do not place your device on top of the dashboard or within an airbag
deployment area,
- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that
the dashboard is adequately shielded from device RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE
You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to optimize
its performance.
Switch the device off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the device off when you are in healthcare facilities, except in
designated areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular
use, these devices can interfere with other electrical or electronic
devices, or equipment using radio frequencies.
Switch the device off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly
obey all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or
chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the device is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from
any medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump,
