10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
S A F E T Y I N F O R M A T I O N
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a
vehicle. If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle
before conversing. 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 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. When the
phone is on and being worn on the body, always
use an approved carrying case.
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 15 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
>
15 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 wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
consult your service provider.
OTHER MEDIC AL DEVICES
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including wireless 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.
