For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
both 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.
Batteries
Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a
conductive material, such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains, touches
exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit
and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current
drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects. Your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover.
When the battery is detached from the phone, please use this cover
for storing your batteries when not in use.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones 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 hands-free operation, if available;
▶
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Most modem 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 (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.

In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information. Turn your phone OFF 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. 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.
