Health and Safety Information 153
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in any area and always switch your Jitterbug
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 if you are using an
external antenna).
Using Your Jitterbug 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.
Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable
cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device.
Persons who have implanted medical devices:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable
medical device when the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the
potential for interference.
• Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
• Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable
medical device. If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such
a device, consult your health care provider.
