• If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious 

hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic 

accident where no one appears injured, or a 

vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside 

assistance or any other special non-emergency 

wireless number.

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 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 (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 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.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 

inches) 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 potential interference.
