Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch off
your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use
the device only in its normal operating positions. Do not cover the antenna with metal
and you should position the device at the above-stated distance from your body. To
successfully transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good quality connection
to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until
such a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation distance instructions are
followed until the transmission is completed. Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the device, and persons with hearing aids should not hold
the device to the ear with the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic
storage media near the device, because information stored on them may be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless 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 device 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
transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15.3
cm (6") be maintained between wireless devices 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 do the following:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 cm (6") from the pacemaker.
• Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is switched on. If you
suspect interference, switch off your device, and move it.
Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your service provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock)
braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems. For more
information, check with the manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any
equipment that has been added. Only qualified personnel should service the device, or
install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may
invalidate any warranty that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless
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 device,
its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags
inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including 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. Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device
before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and
may be illegal.
