Comply with all safety warnings and regulations regarding mobile device usage while operating a vehicle

•

•

While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never use your mobile device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and the safety of others, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:

•

Use a hands-free device.

Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and redial. These features help you reduce the time needed to place or receive calls on your mobile device.

Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless device without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.

•

•

Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving.

Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.

Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and heavy traffic can be hazardous.

Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a

“to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely.

•

•

•

•

•

Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies.

Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, a crime in progress, or a serious emergency where lives are in danger, call a local emergency number.

Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or another special, non-emergency number.

Proper care and use of your mobile device

Keep your device dry

• Humidity and all types of liquids may damage device parts or

• electronic circuits.

Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If your device is already on, turn it off and remove the battery immediately (if the device will not turn off or you cannot remove the battery, leave it

• as-is). Then, dry the device with a towel and take it to a service centre.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information

Your device conforms to U.S. Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific

Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 W/kg. The highest SAR values for this model device as reported to the FCC are Head: 0.350 W/kg,

Body-worn 1 : 1.08 W/kg.

In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorisation for this model device based on the compliance of all reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The authorisation can be found on the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology website at www.fcc.gov/oet/ea (search for grantee code A3L and product code GTC3520)
