Safety Information

Traffic Safety

Do not use a hand-held mobile phone 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 of 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 mobile phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6
inches (20 cm) be maintained between a hand-held mobile 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 (15 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.
Hearing Aids
Some digital mobile phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider.
