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 herein.
• TRAFFICSAFETY
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
or to the radio. 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.
