9. Important safety information

Traffic safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone 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.
Remember road safety always comes first!
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in any area and always switch off your
phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or
when it may cause interference or 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).
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
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 20 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a hand-held wireless
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 20
cm (6 inches) 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 wireless 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 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.
