10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-

emergencies 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 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
of 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).

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.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (20 cm) be maintained between a
hand-held 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 6 inches

(15 cm) 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 the potential for 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
want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
