Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices, 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. Switch 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

Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.

Potentially Explosive Environments

Switch your phone off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere

and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or

fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Users are advised to switch the phone off while at a refueling point (service station).

Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio

equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or

where blasting operations are in progress.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly

marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,

vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the

air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any

other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and

landline networks as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee

connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless

phone for essential communications (medical emergencies, for example).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a

service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on

all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone

features are in use. Check with local service providers.

To make an emergency call:

1.

If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2.

Key in the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911
or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
