If you become aware of the device or the battery letting off strange odours or
sounds or if you see smoke or liquid coming out of the device or battery, stop
using the device immediately and take it to an authorized service Centre.
If you do not do so, this may cause a fire or an explosion.
Comply with all the safety regulations and warnings related to the use of mobile
devices when driving a vehicle.
When driving, your main responsibility is to control the vehicle safely. If the law does
not allow mobile phone use when driving, do not use the mobile device. For your and
others' safety use your common sense and remember the following advice:
•
Get to know the device and its operating functions, like speed dialling and
recall system. These functions allow the time necessary to make and receive
calls to be reduced.
•
Put the device in a place where it is easy to reach. Make sure that you can
access the wireless device without taking your eyes off the road. If you
receive a telephone call at an inconvenient time, let voice-mail answer it.
•
Stop phone calls when there is heavy traffic or when there are adverse
climate conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and heavy traffic can be very
dangerous.
•
Do not jot down or look for telephone numbers. Jotting down a task or
looking at your calendar may distract you from your main responsibility,
which is to drive safely.
•
Dial carefully and assess the state of the traffic. Make phone calls when you
are not moving or before hitting traffic. Try to schedule phone calls when
the car is parked.
•
Do not have very stressful or emotional phone calls that may distract you.
Tell the person that you are speaking to that you are driving and end any
conversations that may take away your attention from the road.
Correct use and maintenance of the mobile device.
Keep the device dry.
•
Humidity and liquids may damage the parts or the electronic circuits of the
device.
•
Do not turn on the device if it is wet. If it is already turned on, turn it off and
take the battery out immediately (if you cannot turn it off or take the battery
out, just leave it as it is). After this, dry the device with a towel and take it to
the service centre.
