Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1). The design of your wireless device complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the wireless device and may violate FCC regulations.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your wireless device to operate most efficiently, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when operating the device.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed, thus reducing battery life.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless device 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:
1. Should ALWAYS keep the wireless device more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker when the wireless
device is turned ON;
2. Should not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket;
3. Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference;
4. Should turn the wireless device OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is occurring.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals but some equipment or devices might not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless device.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you please consult your
service provider, or call customer service regarding alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use other personal medical devices, consult the device manufacturer to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy, or your health care provider may be able to advice about any harmful device interactions.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Be certain to
contact the manufacturer or representative regarding this as well as manufacturer of any additional vehicle equipment.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your wireless device OFF in any health care facility when posted notices so require. Hospitals or health care
facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
Please refer to pages 31 of this guide for information regarding operating electronic devices on aircrafts.
Posted Facilities
Turn your wireless device OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
DO NOT place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
