CommunicationsThis chapter describes the extensive
array of options available for mobile
communications with family, friends,
business associates and service
providers.

Using your mobile phone

Using your mobile phone Safety noticeFor 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 mobile 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
completely stationary.<
Using the phone in your vehicle
Using a hand-held mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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
Always switch off your BMW mobile
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 mobile phone
in areas where an increased explosion
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 mobile phone could conceivably
generate sparks that could lead to a fire or
explosion. Always observe all legal regula-
tions governing the use of cell phones in
the vicinity of filling stations, chemical
factories and other areas where an explo-
sion potential exists.
Never use the BMW mobile phone in
aircraft; do not use this mobile phone in
hospitals, 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
Mobile phones can generate interfer-
ence 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.<

surfaces of any kind.<
Disposing of used batteries
Return used batteries to a recycling
collection point or to your BMW
center.<
