Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such interfer-
ence, you may want to consult your service pro-
vider (or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives).
Other medical devices
If you use any other 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 healthcare facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare
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.
Posted facilities
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so
require.
Other safety guidelines
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while
in the air. Turn your phone OFF before board-
ing an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior
consent and approval of an authorized airline
representative before using your phone aboard
an aircraft. Always follow the instructions
of the airline representative whenever using
your phone aboard an aircraft, to prevent any
possible interference with airborne electronic
equipment.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area”
or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all
signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include fueling areas such as gas stations; below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or stor-
age facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum
gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders; and any other area
where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle’s engine.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FCC RF
EXPOSURE
WARNING! Read this Information before Using
Cautions
In August 1996 the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States with its
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted
by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously set
by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards.
Body-Worn operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept 2.2
cm.
from the body with a beltclip that contains
metallic components. To maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips,
holsters or similar accessories with which this device
was tested.
