phone and may violate the relevant regula-
tions, causing loss of performance and radio
frequency (RF) energy above the recom-
mended limits.
Do not hold the antenna when the mobile
phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects
call quality, may cause the mobile phone to
operate at a higher power level than needed
and shortens talk and standby times.
Hold the mobile phone
–
in GSM mode
as you would any other
telephone. While speaking directly into
the mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a
direction up and over your shoulder.
–
in SAT mode
: Extend the antenna and
point it in the assumed direction of the
satellite. Making and receiving a call is
only possible outside houses or cars and
with no obstructions between the mobile
phone and satellite.
Emergency calls
To make or receive calls, the mobile phone
must be turned on and in a service area with
adequate radio signal strength. Emergency
calls may not be possible on all mobile phone
networks or when certain network services
and/or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.

Pacemakers
The various brands and models of cardiac
pacemakers available exhibit a wide range of
immunity levels to radio signals. Therefore,
people who wear a cardiac pacemaker and
who want to use a mobile phone should seek
the advice of their cardiologist. If, as a pace-
maker user, you are still concerned about in-
teraction with mobile phones, we suggest
you
–
maintain a distance of 15 cm (6 inches)
between the mobile phone and your
pacemaker
–
do not hold your mobile phone to your
chest, e.g., do not carry the mobile
phone in a breast pocket
–
when using the mobile phone, place it to
your ear opposite the pacemaker
–
refer to your pacemaker product litera-
ture for information on your particular
device.
If you have any reason to suspect that inter-
ference is taking place, turn off your mobile
phone immediately!
Hearing aids
Most new models of hearing aids are
immune to radio frequency interference
from mobile phones that are more than
2 metres away. Some are also immune to
interference when the mobile phone is
brought up to the same hearing-aided ear.
Many types of
older
hearing aids may be
susceptible to interference, making it very
difficult to use a mobile phone. Should inter-
ference be experienced, there are things that
can be done which may improve the situa-
tion:
–
if possible use the mobile phone with
your non-aided ear
–
use a hands-free accessory.
