7. 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 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 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.
