Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force
in any area and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference of danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for detailed
safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation
of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position (held to your
ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone.
consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
59
with the independent research by and recommen-
dations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the phone more than 6
inches (15cm) from their pacemaker when the
phone is switched 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 is taking place, switch off your
phone 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.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices,
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. Switch off your phone 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.
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.
