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 6 inches
(approximately 15.3 cm) be maintained between a hand-held 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 6 inches (approximately 15.3 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 minimize the potential
for interference.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your phone immediately.

Reference information
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.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch
off your phone in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid/
antilock braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems). Check with
the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling point (service station).
Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment
in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, or where
blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats; chemical transfer or storage facilities;
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and
any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
which may apply to the unit.

Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great
force. Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment
in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your phone
before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network,
and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of telephone
services to the offender, legal action or both.
• MAKE EMERGENCY CALLS
Important: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless, and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions.
Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential
communications (for example, medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when
certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local
service providers.
