This section contains important information pertaining to correct and safe usage of your mobile phone. Read carefully before using your device.

Electronic DeviceSwitch off your Neptune B506 in places that prohibit mobile phone use. Do not use your mobile phone when it can cause danger or interference with electronic devices.

Medical Device• Power off your device and follow the rules and regulations set by hospitals and health care facilities.• Manufacturers recommend a minimum distance of 15 cm from the pacemaker to prevent mobile phones from potentially causing interferences with the pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite side of the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket.• Some mobile phones have been found to affect the performance of hearing aids. For such issues, please consult your network provider. Potentially Explosive AtmospheresComply with all signs and instructions. Power off your mobile phones in areas that are potentially explosive, or where you would normally be advised to switch off your vehicle’s engine. Using your mobile phone in such areas can trigger sparks, which could cause an explosion or �re, resulting in bodily injuries or even death.

Before using your mobile phone, watch out for potentially explosive areas that are often, though not always, clearly marked. Such areas include below-deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals, grain, dust, or metal powders. Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using lique�ed petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if mobile phones can be safely used in their vicinity.

Traf�c SecurityObserve local laws and regulations while using your mobile phone. If you are using your mobile phone while driving a vehicle, please comply with the following guidelines:

• Concentrate on driving. Your �rst responsibility is to drive safely.• Do not talk on your mobile phone while driving.

For more information on this, consult your vehicle manufacturer.• Do not place your mobile phone over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. You may be injured by the device, owing to the strong force of its trajectory when the air bag in�ates.• Do not use your mobile phone while inside an aircraft. Switch off the device before boarding.
