17. Important safety information

Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle.
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.
Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic materials may be
attracted to the phone, and persons with a hearing aid should
not hold the phone to the ear with the hearing aid. Always
secure the phone in its holder, because metallic materials may
be attracted by the earpiece. Do not place credit cards or
other magnetic storage media near the phone, because
information stored on them may be erased.
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 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:
• 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 minimise 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
