Safety Information
Tips on Efficient Operation:
Observe the following guidelines to operate your phone 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.
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. When the
battery is detached from the phone: your battery is packed with a
protective cover; please use this cover for storing your battery when
not in use.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Observe the following guidelines
when using your phone while driving:
•
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.
Electronic
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 (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.
