Important safety information
Operating environment
Make sure that no special regulation is in force that imposes restric-
tions on the use of mobile telephones. Restrictions to mobile tel-
ephones would also apply to this phone.
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 phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation
of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a hand-held wireless
phone and a pacemaker The same restriction should apply to the
external antenna of the phone. If you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place, switch off the phone immediately.
Hearing aids
The phone radio signals may interfere with some hearing aids. In
such event move the antenna as far away as practical or consult
your hearing aid supplier.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the phone,
may interfere with the function of inadequately protected medical de-
vices. 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 (e.g. electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic
speed control systems, airbag 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.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Do not install the phone or site the antenna in any area with a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Ar-
eas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include 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.
Emergency calls
IMPORTANT: The phone, like any wireless phone, operates using
radio signals, wireless and landline networks, as well as user-pro-
grammed functions, which cannot guarantee connection in all con-
ditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless
phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal
strength. 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 cellular service providers. Emergency
calls may be made even when a SIM card is not installed (subject to
network availability) using the 112 dialling code.
