Children
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to
play with it. They could hurt themselves or others.
Children could also damage the phone or make
calls that increase your telephone bill.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of 20 cm
(or 6 inches) be maintained between a handheld
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. The
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with a pacemaker:
Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm
(or 6 inches) from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned on.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker in
order to minimize the potential for interference.
Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the
medical device if you have any questions.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your cellular
dealer or hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including your cellular phone, may interfere with the
functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of
the medical device if you have any questions. Turn
your phone off in health care facilities when any
regulations require that you do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
Using your phone in a vehicle demands special
considerations. The fitting of any accessories to a
vehicle should only be undertaken by a suitably
qualified person to ensure that vehicle systems are
not adversely affected, and that the accessory
gives optimum performance.
Interference
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles (e.g., electronic fuel injection systems,
antilock braking systems and air bag systems).
Check with the manufacturer or representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Driving
Always obey local laws and regulations regarding
the use of a cellular phone in the areas where you
drive. In some areas, it is illegal to use a cellular
telephone while driving, and handsfree operation is
required in many other areas. Do not hold your
phone in your hand while driving. Give your full
attention to driving. Use handsfree operation if
possible. Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if it is safe and legal to do so.
