Additional safety information
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in
any area and always switch off your device when its
use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger. Use the device only in its normal operating
positions. This device meets RF exposure guidelines
when used either in the normal use position against
the ear or when positioned at least 5/8 inch (1.5 cm)
away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip, or
holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not
contain metal and should position at least 5/8 inch (1.5
cm) away from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device
requires a quality connection to the network. In some
cases, transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the
above separation distance instructions are followed
until the transmission is completed.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including wireless phones, may interfere with the
functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the
medical device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy or if you have any
questions. Switch off your device 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.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15.3 cm) be maintained
between a 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 device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm)
from their pacemaker when the device is switched
on;
• not carry the device in a breast pocket; and
• hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimise the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch off your device immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some
hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
