Health and safety
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial
the emergency number in the case of fire,
traffic accident or medical emergencies.
Remember, it is a free call on your wireless
phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. If you see a car accident, crime in
progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call the emergency number,
as you would want others to do for you.
10.Call roadside assistance or a special
nonemergency wireless assistance number
when necessary. 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 nonemergency 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
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
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.
