Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of PCS and cellular telephones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using the phone while
driving, please:

Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;

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,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches

from their pacemaker when the phone is turned

ON

;

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize

the potential for interference.

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place, turn your phone

OFF

immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, 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.

Turn your phone

OFF

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.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

OFF

in any facility where posted notices so require.
