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.

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 minimize potential
interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your

phone off 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.
