RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external
sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy
compatibility. In some circumstances your mobile device may cause interference
with other devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do
so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline
staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline
staff about using it in flight.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator,
consult your physician before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following precautions:
• ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the
implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential
for interference.
• Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical
device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with your
implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
Driving Precautions

Additionally, the use of wireless devices and their accessories may be prohibited or
restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of
these products.
Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices While Driving”
section in this guide (or separate guide).
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted and
can include fueling areas, such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain dust, or metal powders.
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not remove,
install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion
or fire.

• Improperly handled batteries could overheat and cause a burn.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass. This glass could break if
the product is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If glass
breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile device until the
glass is replaced by a qualified service center.

Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, such as when playing video games. These may occur even if a person
has never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such
occurrences, please consult with your physician before playing video games or
enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile device.
Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur:
convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or
disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes,
leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every hour, and stop use if
you are tired.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended
periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder the volume
sound level, the less time is required before your hearing could be
affected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness
in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the
device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.

Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering
finger-written characters, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort
during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
