IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. Read this information
before using your phone. For the safe and efficient operation of your phone, observe these
guidelines:
Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off your phone when you are in any areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fueling areas (gas or petrol stations, below deck on
boats) storage facilities for fuel or chemicals, blasting areas and areas near electrical blasting
caps, and areas where there are chemicals or particles (such as metal powders, grains, and
dust) in the air.
Interference to medical and personal electronic devices: Most but not all electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals and certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the
RF signals from your phone.
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by the recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON.
Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
Turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
Other medical devices, hospitals: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF
in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
