•
If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on
immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for
a few minutes before turning on the device.
•
If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection
to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid disconnecting from the

•
Most electronic devices use radio frequency signals. Your device may interfere with other
electronic devices.
Do not use your device in a hospital, on an aircraft, or in an automotive equipment that
can be interfered with by radio frequency
•
Avoid using your device within a 15 cm range of a pacemaker, if possible, as your device
can interfere with the pacemaker.
•
To minimize possible interference with a pacemaker, use your device only on the side of
your body that is opposite the pacemaker.
•
If you use medical equipment, contact the equipment manufacturer before using your
Health and Safety
97
device to determine whether or not the equipment will be affected by radio frequencies
emitted by the device.
•
On an aircraft, using electronic devices can interfere with the aircraft’s electronic
navigational instruments. Make sure the device is turned off during takeoff and landing.
After takeoff, you can use the device in flight mode if allowed by aircraft personnel.
•
Electronic devices in your car may malfunction, due to radio interference from your
device. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
Do not expose the device to heavy smoke or fumes
•
Doing so may damage the outside of the device or cause it to malfunction.
If you use a hearing aid, contact the manufacturer for information about radio
interference
•
The radio frequency emitted by your device may interfere with some hearing aids. Before
using your device, contact the manufacturer to determine whether or not your hearing
aid will be affected by radio frequencies emitted by the device.
Do not use your device near devices or apparatuses that emit radio frequencies, such as
sound systems or radio towers
•
Radio frequencies may cause your device to malfunction.
•
Turn off the device in potentially explosive environments
•
Turn off your device in potentially explosive environments instead of removing the

Acknowledging Special Precautions and Industry Canada Notice
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your device not expressly approved in this document could
void your warranty for this equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only use approved batteries, antennas, and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories
may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if they cause damage or a defect to the
device.
Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken.
Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital
device. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
•
Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning: At very high volumes, prolonged listening to a headset can damage your
hearing.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Devices
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user
of a wireless device.
The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the device emits. All devices are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a device can be
substantially less than the level reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs
do not represent a variation in safety.
Health and Safety
105
All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety.
As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model devices do not mean
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered
safe for use by the public.
This device has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
that contains no metal and that positions the mobile device 0mm from the body.
