Safety Guidelines
The design of your phone complies with the FCC
guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
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.

phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:

Safety guidelines
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:
G
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
G
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
G
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
G
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
want to consult your service provider.
