Vehicle Installation
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles (including safety systems). Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury
could result.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device without removing your
eyes from the road.
Note: Connection to an alert device that will cause a vehicle horn to sound or lights to flash,
on receipt of a call on public roads, is not permitted.
IMPORTANT: Before installing or using, check state and local laws regarding windshield
mounting and use of equipment.
For Safe Installation:
• Do not put your phone in a location that obstructs the drivers vision or interferes with the
operation of the Vehicle.
• Do not cover an airbag.
Safety on the Road
Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving
safely.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility - Give full attention to driving. Check the
laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them.
When using a wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and
remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless device and any features such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the
road.
2. When available, use a hands free device.
3. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy
traffic can be hazardous.
4. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to
make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
5. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have
the potential to divert your attention from the road.
6. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the Emergency services, (9-1-1 in the US,
and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident
or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone! The call can
be made regardless of any security codes and depending on a network, with or without a
SIM card inserted.
7. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the
Emergency Services, (9-1-1 in the US, and 1-1-2 in Europe) or other local emergency
number, as you would want others to do for you.
8. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
“The wireless industry reminds you to use your device / phone safely when driving.”
Please observe all
warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices.
Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres
You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel
depots, chemical plants etc. and 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 engine.
Safety in Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline
staff. If your device offers a 'flight mode' or similar feature, consult airline staff as to its use in
flight.
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained
between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and
recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
turned ON.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the
operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
