Driving precautions
Responsible and safe driving is your primary responsibility when behind the wheel
of a vehicle. Using a mobile device or accessory for a call or other application while
driving may cause distraction. Using a mobile device or accessory may be prohibited
or restricted in certain areas, always obey the laws and regulations on the use of
these products.
While driving, NEVER:
• Type or read texts.
• Enter or review written data.
• Surf the web.
• Input navigation information.
• Perform any other functions that divert your attention from driving.
While driving, ALWAYS:
• Keep your eyes on the road.
• Use a hands-free device if available or required by law in your area.
• Enter destination information into a navigation device before driving.
• Use voice activated features (such as voice dial) and speaking features (such as
audible directions), if available.
• Obey all local laws and regulations for the use of mobile devices and accessories
in the vehicle.
• End your call or other task if you cannot concentrate on driving.
Remember to follow the "Smart practices while driving" in this guide and at
www.motorola.com/callsmart (in English only).
Seizures/blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, such as when playing videos or 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 your doctor before playing videos or 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 get 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 doctor.

Glass parts
Some parts of your mobile device may be made of glass. This glass could break if

breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile device until the
glass is replaced by a qualified service centre.
