Important Safety Information
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle.
If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle before conversing.
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.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle's lights or horn
on public roads is not permitted.
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.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another
device, read its user's guide for detailed safety instructions.
Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment
should only be used in the normal operating position (held to
your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
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 6 inches (20 cm.) 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 6 inches (20 cm)
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 minimize
the potential for interference.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch off your phone immediately.
