Reference information
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 minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your phone immediately.
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.
