Safety Guidelines
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
v
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:
v
Give full attention to driving - driving
safely is your first responsibility;
v
Use hands-free operation, if available;
v
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:
v
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more
than six inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON;
v
Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket.
v
Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
v
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn your
phone OFF immediately.
