Traffic Safety
Do not use a handheld 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.
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 at least 6 inches
(approximately 20 cm) 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 6 inches (20 cm) 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 minimize the potential for interference.
• Switch off the phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
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.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones, may interfere
with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. 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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid/
antilock braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems). Check with
the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
