SAFETY AND WARRANTY
H ELECTRONIC DEVICES
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.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a mini-
mum separation of six (152.40mm) inches be maintained between a hand-
held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the indepen-
dent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
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 inter-
ference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn
your mobile phone OFF immediately.
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the 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 mobile 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.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your mobile phone OFF where posted notices so require.

AIRCRAFT
FCC and Transport Canada Regulations prohibit using your mobile phone
while in the air. Turn your mobile phone OFF before boarding an aircraft.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your mobile phone OFF
when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio."
Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your mobile phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and
any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle's engine.
