Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety 125
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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving--driving safety 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 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 hand-held 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.
