Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment are 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
minimise 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.
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 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).
