SAFETY AND WARRANTY
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.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS
HANDHELD PHONES
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.
VEHICLES
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone
OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent
and approval of an authorized airline representative before using your phone
aboard an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of the airline representative
whenever using your phone aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible inter-
ference with airborne electronic equipment.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in
a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Obey all signs
and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmo-
