Safety Guidelines
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
]
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily
when the phone is in use. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless phones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please:
]
Give full attention to driving - driving safely
is your first responsibility;
]
Use hands-free operation, if available;
]
Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.

Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF signals. 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:
]
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than
six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned 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, turn your
phone OFF immediately.
