DRIVING SAFETY
Talking on the phone while driving is extremely dangerous and is illegal in some
states. Remember, safety comes first. Check the laws and regulations on the use
of phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving
conditions so require.
If you must use the phone while driving, please use one-touch, speed dialing, and
auto answer modes.
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed
or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury and
possible property damage.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in certain situations.

PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a handheld 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:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when
the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your
phone OFF 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 (or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives).
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device
to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your
phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
