Additional safety information
■ Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets
RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the
ear or when positioned at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from the body. When a
carry case, belt clip, or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain
metal and should position the device at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection
to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed
until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions
are followed until the transmission is completed.
■ Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical phones. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch
off your phone in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15.3 cm) be maintained between a 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. To minimize the potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should
• Always keep the phone more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker
when the phone is switched on
• Not carry the phone in a breast pocket
• Hold the phone to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your phone immediately.
