to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information. Turn your smartphone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Repetitive Motion Injuries: When using the keyboard or playing games on your smartphone, you may experience
discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms, or other parts of the body. To avoid any injury, such as tendonitis, carpal
tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorder, make sure to take necessary breaks from use, take longer rests (such as
several hours) if discomfort or tiring begins, and see a doctor if discomfort persists. To minimize the risk of Repetitive Motion
Injuries, when texting or playing games with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.
• Press the buttons lightly.
• Make use of the special features in the handset that minimize the number of buttons which have to be pressed, such as
message templates and predictive text.
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.

some people to experience blackout or seizure, even if never experienced before. In the event a smartphone user should
experience any disorientation, loss of awareness, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching or other involuntary movements, stop
use immediately and consult a doctor. Individuals with personal or family history of such events should consult a doctor
before using the device. To limit the possibility of such symptoms, wherever possible every hour take a minimum of 15
minutes, use in a well lighted area, view the screen from the farthest distance and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you
are tired.
