Warning! Important Safety
Information
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use your phone and/
or headset at a high volume. Set
the volume to a safe level. You can
adapt over time to a higher volume
of sound that may sound normal
but can be damaging to your
hearing. If you experience ringing in
your ears or muffled speech, stop
listening and have your hearing
checked. The louder the volume,
the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected. Hearing
experts suggest that to protect your
hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use
your phone and/or headset 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.
For information about how to set
a maximum volume limit on your
phone, see the features guide for
your phone.
Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while operating
a vehicle is not recommended and
is illegal in some areas. Be careful
and attentive while driving.
Stop using your phone if you find
it disruptive or distracting while
operating any type of vehicle or
performing any other activity that
requires your full attention.

energy (RF) in the microwave
