12. Important Safety Information
Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while
driving a vehicle. 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.
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.
Use the phone only in its normal operating
positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the phone, and
persons with a hearing aid should not hold
the phone to the ear with the hearing aid.
Always secure the phone in its holder,
because metallic materials may be attracted
by the earpiece. Do not place credit cards or
other magnetic storage media near the
phone, because information stored on them
may be erased.
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 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
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 minimise 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 wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your
service provider.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including cellular phones, may
interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of
the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy
or if you have any questions. Switch off your
phone in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
