SAFETY INFORMATION
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 con-
sistent with the independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
Never come closer than six (6") inches to a person with a heart
pacemaker implant when using your phone. Doing so could result
in interference with the function of the pacemaker.
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.

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.
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.
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including
both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over
