Safety Information Read this information before using your wearable cellular telephone. First introduced in 1984, the hand-held portable cellular telephone is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services, and others. Important For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these guidelines. Your cellular telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
Safety Information Efficient Phone Operation For your phone to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality, please observe the following guidelines: If your phone has an extendible antenna, extend it fully. Some models allow you to place a call with the antenna retracted. However, your phone operates more efficiently with the antenna fully extended. Hold the phone as you would any other telephone.
Safety Information Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
Safety Information Electronic Devices (continued) in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. You should also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Safety Information To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. Blasting Areas Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
