166 S1. Important Safety Information
ⅷ In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed
to do so by airline staff.
ⅷ If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar
feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a
pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your physician before using
this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the
following precautions:
ⅷ ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters
(8 inches) from the implantable medical device when the
mobile device is turned ON.
ⅷ DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
ⅷ Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to
minimize the potential for interference.
ⅷ Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
ⅷ Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your
implantable medical device. If you have any questions about
using your mobile device with your implantable medical
device, consult your healthcare provider.
Driving Precautions
The use of wireless phones while driving may cause distraction.
Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on driving.
Additionally, the use of wireless devices and their accessories
may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey
the laws and regulations on the use of these products.
Responsible driving practices can be found in the “Smart Practices
While Driving” section in this guide (or separate guide).
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, posted and can include fueling areas, such as below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain dust, or metal powders.
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and
do not remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas,
sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards
described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined
in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to
human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers
and physicians from universities, government health agencies and
industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation.
In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP).
