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 5/8 inch (1.5
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 at least 5/8 inch (1.5 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 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 device 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. Persons with pacemakers should:
always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when the device is switched on;
not carry the device in a breast pocket; and
hold the device to 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 device immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems. For
more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment
in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in
the same compartment as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air
bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless
teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may
be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at
refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, storage, and distribution areas, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical
transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
