Heat and sunlight exposure
Avoid leaving your cellular/PCS
phone exposed to direct sunlight or
extreme heat. Extended exposure
to heat and sunlight may damage
the components of your cellular/
PCS phone.
Antenna care and
replacement
Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result.
Replace a damaged antenna
immediately. Take your phone to an
authorized service center for repair.
Use only the supplied or approved
antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments
could impair call quality, damage
the phone, and violate FCC
regulations.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on
the use of cellular/PCS telephones
in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, when
using your phone while driving,
please:
• pay full attention to driving;
• use hands-free operation, if
available;
• pull off the road and park
before making or answering a
call, if driving conditions so
require.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF energy.
However, RF energy from cellular/
PCS telephones may affect some
electronic equipment.
RF energy may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating and
entertainment systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative
to determine if these systems are
adequately shielded from external
RF energy. You should also check
with the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Medical devices
Consult the manufacturer of any
personal medical devices (such as
pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to
determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health
care facilities when regulations
posted in the areas instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
Aircraft
Turn your phone OFF before
boarding any aircraft.
• Use it on the ground only with
crew permission.
• Do not use in the air.
To prevent possible interference
with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to
use your phone while the plane is
on the ground. To prevent
interference with aircraft
communication systems, FCC
regulations prohibit using your
phone while the plane is in the air.
