Optimize your phone's performance
Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to
optimize the performance and life of your phone and
battery.
Air bags
If you have an air bag, DO NOT place installed or
portable phone equipment or other objects over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If
equipment is not properly installed, you and your
passengers risk serious injury.
Medical devices
Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers:
Wireless phones, when in the 'on' position, have
been shown to interfere with pacemakers. The
phone should be kept at least six (6) inches away
from the pacemaker to reduce risk.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and
the wireless technology research community
recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
•
Always keep the phone at least six inches
(15 centimeters) away from your pacemaker
when the phone is turned on.
•
Do not carry your phone near your heart.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn off your phone
immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with 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 the device to determine if it is adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to help you obtain this information.
In health care facilities—Turn your phone off in
health care facilities when instructed. Hospitals and
health care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility
when posted notices require you to do so.
Aircraft—FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
on a plane that is in the air. Turn your phone off or
switch it to Airplane Mode (page 14) before boarding
aircraft.
Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer of
the device to determine if it is adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to help you obtain this information.
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting
is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres—Turn off your
phone when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
•
fueling areas such as gas stations
•
below deck on boats
•
transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
•
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as
propane or butane
•
areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders
•
any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine
Use with care
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid dropping,
hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
