Using the phone in your vehicle
Safety notes
A car phone can provide many services, in
an emergency even initiating a lifesaving
rescue. However, bear the following in
mind:
Adjustments
To avoid posing an unnecessary haz-
ard due to inattention, both to your
own vehicle's occupants and to other road
users: never attempt to use the controls or
make entries unless traffic and road condi-
tions allow.<
Using the phone in your vehicle
Using a portable phone to make and
receive calls while driving is now ille-
gal 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 and switch the engine off.<
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
damaged. 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
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 phone might generate sparks that
could result in burns.
This same precaution applies to opening
luggage compartment lids on vehicles
equipped for operation using natural gas or
hydrogen, and to all vehicles with luggage
compartment-mounted batteries.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 fill-
ing stations, chemical factories and other
areas where an explosion potential exists.
Never use the BMW 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 operat-
ing correctly. If you or any occupant of the
vehicle will be using such equipment, con-
sult a physician or the manufacturer of the
equipment to determine whether it is ade-
quately shielded against high-frequency
energy.
Persons with cardiac pacemakers should
bear the following in mind:
Always hold the switched-on BMW porta-
ble phone more than 15 cm away from the
cardiac pacemaker.
Do not carry the BMW portable phone in
your breast pocket.
Use the ear on the opposite side of the car-
diac pacemaker to reduce the likelihood of

influencing the cardiac pacemaker.
With the slightest sign of a cardiac pace-
maker malfunction, switch the BMW porta-
ble phone off immediately.<
Batteries
To avoid possible short circuits, after
removing a battery you should never
allow it to come into contact with metallic
surfaces of any kind. This is why you should
handle charged batteries with care, in par-
ticular if you place batteries, e.g. in jacket
or shirt pockets that contain metal objects.
If you are in an environment where there is
a risk of explosion, do not remove the bat-
tery from the device, as otherwise sparks
from your battery could cause explosions
or fire.<
Disposing of used batteries
Return used batteries to a recycling
collection point or to your BMW cen-
ter.<
Care instructions
You can find useful information on caring
for your portable phone in the separate
Caring for your vehicle brochure and in the
separate portable phone Owner's Manual.
