conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that have the

1 or other local 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 an auto accident, crime
in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call 9-1-1 or other local
emergency number, as you would want others to
do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-
emergency 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 other special non-
emergency number.

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force
in any area and always switch your phone off
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).
Using Your Phone Near Other 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.
