8. Important safety information
■ Traffic Safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while
driving a vehicle. Always secure the
phone in its holder; do not place the
phone on the passenger seat or where it
can break loose in a collision or sudden
stop.
Remember road safety always comes
first!
■ Operating environment
Remember to follow any special
regulations in force in any area and
always switch off your phone whenever it
is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
Use the phone only in its normal
operating positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the phone,
and persons with a hearing aid should
not hold the phone to the ear with the
hearing aid. Always secure the phone in
its holder, because metallic materials
may be attracted by the earpiece. Do not
place credit cards or other magnetic
storage media near the phone, because
information stored on them may be
erased.
■ Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend
that a minimum separation of 20 cm (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 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is
switched on;
• Should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimise the potential
for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch
off your phone immediately.
