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.
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 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 Owner'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).
Do not point the infrared beam at anyone's eye or
allow it to interfere with other infrared devices.

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 pacemaker:
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 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 (e.g. 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.

Posted facilities

Switch your phone off in any facility where posted
notices so require.
