Antenna care
Use only the supplies or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antenna, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tip
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
•
Extend you antenna fully.
•
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
Driving
In the areas where you drive, always obey the local laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones.
If using your phone while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first responsibility.
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions require you to
do so.
Electronics devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches
(15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pace maker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of the 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 interface.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone off
immediately.
