Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first
responsibility.
•
Use handsfree operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving tips if you
are using your phone while driving:
•
Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed
dial and redial.
•
Position your wireless phone within easy
reach.
•
Suspend conversations during hazardous
driving conditions or situations.
•
Do not take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving.
•
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic.
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
be distracting.
•
Use your wireless phone to call for help.
•
Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
•
Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency
assistance number when necessary.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld 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 six inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned 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, turn your phone OFF immediately.
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 (or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives).
