Health and Safety Information

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and
always switch your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or
when it may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read
its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect
incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised
that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety
of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position (held to your ear with the
antenna pointing over your shoulder).
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. Consult
the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of
15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
♦should always keep the phone more than 15 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 potential
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
switch your phone off immediately.
