4 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones 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 handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answer-
ing a call if driving conditions so require.
In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving
tips if you are using your phone while driving:
• Get to know your wireless phone and its features
such as speed dial and redial.
• Position your wireless phone
within easy reach.
• Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions or
situations.
• Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place
calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversa-
tions that may be distracting.
• Use your wireless phone to call for help.
• Use your wireless phone to help others in emergen-
cies.
• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-
emergency assistance number when necessary.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recom-
mends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace-
maker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wire-
less 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 mini-
mize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
