AND WARRANTY
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your cellular telephone OFF where posted notices so
require.
H OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC and Transport Canada Regulations prohibit using your
cellular telephone while in the air. Turn your cellular
telephone OFF before boarding an aircraft.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
cellular telephone 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 cellular telephone 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.

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 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 consistent with the
independent 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 interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your cellular telephone 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 cellular telephone 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.
