IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a
vehicle. If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle
before conversing. Do not place the phone on the
passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision
or sudden stop.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights
or horn on public roads is not permitted.
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.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety
instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the
safety of personnel, it is recommended that the
equipment should only be used in the normal
operating position (held to your ear).
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 (6 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 independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
>
Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm (6
inches) 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
minimize 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.
VEHICLES
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, air bag systems).
