>> Health and safety information
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special
regulations in force in the area you
are in, and always switch off your
phone whenever it is forbidden to
use it, or when it may cause
interference or 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.
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
distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the
pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent
with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. 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 wish 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 it is 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 regulations
posted in these areas instruct you
to do so.
