Safety Information

Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held mobile phone while driving a vehicle. If using a
hand-held phone, park the vehicle before conversing. Always secure the
phone in its holder, do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it
can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle's lights or horn on public
roads is not permitted.
Remember, road safety always comes first!
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always
switch you're phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause
interference of danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its
user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel,
it is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal
operating position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your
shoulder).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your mobile phone.

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(20 cm) be maintained between a hand-held mobile phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
Should always keep the phone more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on;
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch
off your phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital mobile phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any
questions. Switch off your phone 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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid (anti lock) braking systems, electronic speed control
systems, air bag systems). Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
