Safety notice
For your own safety
Your in-car phone makes life more conve-
nient in many ways, and can even save
lives in an emergency. While you should
consult your portable phone's separate
manual for a detailed description of safety
precautions and information, we request
that you direct your particular attention to
the following:
Adjustments
To avoid posing a danger to yourself
and other road users, never adjust the
system settings unless your vehicle is com-
pletely stationary.<
Using the phone in your vehicle
Using a hand-held portable phone to
make and receive calls while driving is
now illegal in virtually every country in the
world. Always use your hands-free system,
or stop your vehicle in an area where you
will not pose a safety hazard to other road
users.<
Vehicles and portable phones
Do not use your phone from within a
garage, or near an open hood. The air
in these areas could contain fuel vapors,
and the portable phone might generate
sparks that could result in burns.
This same precaution applies to open
luggage compartment lids on vehicles
equipped for operation using natural gas or
hydrogen, and to all vehicles with luggage
compartment-mounted batteries.<
Antenna
When using the phone, ensure that all
persons in the area are at least 20 in
(50 cm) from the antenna. Never use your
BMW portable phone if the antenna is dam-
aged. Contact between your skin and a damaged antenna can result in minor
burns.
If the antenna is damaged, have it replaced
immediately.<
Special environmental conditions
Always switch off your BMW portable
phone in areas where blasting work is
being conducted with explosives. The
phone signals could potentially act as a
high-frequency transmitter and set off
explosions.
Always switch off your BMW portable
phone in areas where an increased explo-
sion danger is present. This category
includes filling stations along with fuel and
chemical storage depots, etc., and all
areas in which the air can contain fuel,
chemicals or metal particles. Under these
conditions, your BMW portable phone
could conceivably generate sparks that
could lead to a fire or explosion. Always
observe all legal regulations governing the
use of portable phones in the vicinity of
filling stations, chemical factories and other
areas where an explosion potential exists.
Never use the BMW portable phone in air-
craft; do not use this portable phone in hos-
pitals, care centers or at other locations
where medical equipment may be in oper-
ation, such as accident sites, etc.
Your service provider can furnish you with
more detailed information on legal regula-
tions governing the use of your phone.<
Medical equipment
Portable phones can generate inter-
ference capable of preventing hearing
aids and cardiac pacemakers from oper-
ating correctly. If you or any occupant of
the vehicle will be using such equipment,
consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the equipment to determine whether
it is adequately shielded against high-
frequency energy.<

faces of any kind.<
