Guidelines for safe and efficient use
•
If you are listening to music while out and
about, please ensure the volume is at a
reasonable level so that you are aware
of your surroundings. This is particularly
important near roads.
Efficient phone operation
Electronic devices
All mobile phones may receive interference,
which could affect their performance.
•
Do not use your mobile phone near medical
equipment without asking permission. Avoid
placing the phone over pacemakers, for
example, in your breast pocket.
Avoid damage to your hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are
exposed to loud sound for long periods of
time. We therefore recommend that you do
not turn the handset on or off close to your
ear. We also recommend that music and call
volumes are set to a reasonable level.
•
•
Some hearing aids could be disturbed by
mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect TVs, radios,
PCs etc.
•
When using headphones, turn the
volume down if you cannot hear the
people speaking near you or if the person
sitting next to you can hear what you are
listening to.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations covering
mobile phone use in the area where you
drive.
•
Do not use a hand-held phone while
driving.
Give full attention to driving.
Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic
systems in your vehicle, such as car
stereos and safety equipment.
When your vehicle is equipped with an
air bag, do not obstruct it with installed or
portable wireless equipment. It can cause
the air bag to fail or cause serious injury
due to improper performance.
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from
earphones can cause hearing loss.

Sharing your phone's data
connection
TIP! If your computer is running
Windows 7 or a recent distribution of
some flavours of Linux (such as Ubuntu),
you don't usually need to prepare your
computer for tethering. But if you're
running an earlier version of Windows
or another operating system, you may
need to prepare your computer to
establish a network connection via USB.
For the most current information about
which operating systems support USB
tethering and how to configure them,
USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are
great features when there are no wireless
connections available. You can share your
phone's mobile data connection with a
single computer via a USB cable (USB
tethering). You can also share your phone's
data connection with more than one device
at a time by turning your phone into a
portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
When your phone is sharing its data
connection, an icon appears in the status
bar and as an ongoing notification in the
notifications drawer.
To rename or secure your portable
hotspot
You can change the name of your phone's
Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and secure its
