Health and Safety Information
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not moving
or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls
when your car will be stationary. If you need
to make a call while moving, dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors,
then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make
the people with whom you are talking aware
that you are driving and suspend
conversations that have the potential to divert
your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial
the emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless
phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. If you see a car accident, crime
in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call the emergency
number, as you would want others to do for
you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-
emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one
appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance or any other
special non-emergency wireless number.

Health and Safety Information
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. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
