8 Safety precautions
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile phones
while driving vary significantly from state
to state and sometimes even from locality to
locality within states. For example, some ar-
eas may allow persons to use their mobile
phones only if they employ a hands-free de-
vice, and some areas may prohibit the use of
cell phones entirely. Accordingly, BenQ
recommends that persons check the laws
for the areas in which they drive or will be
driving. For areas where the use of mobile
phones while driving is permitted, BenQ
encourages persons to use their phones re-
sponsibly and to employ hands-free devic-
es. 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.
For vehicles equipped with
air bags
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including either in-
stalled or portable wireless equipment, in
the area over the air bag or in the air bag de-
ployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equip-
ment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.

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
The Health Industry Manufacturers' Asso-
ciation recommends that a minimum sepa-
ration of six inches (6") be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wire-
less Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers
• should ALWAYS keep the phone more
than six 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
to minimize the potential for interference;
• should turn the phone OFF immediately
if there is any reason to suspect that inter-
ference is taking place.
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 your hearing aid manu-
facturer to discuss alternatives.
