Efficient Phone Operation
Normal Position
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently;
Extend your 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.
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 telephones
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.

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.

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 in 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
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
