Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

]

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily

when the phone is in use. Contact with the

antenna affects call quality and may cause

the phone to operate at a higher power

level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of

wireless phones in the areas where you drive.

Always obey them. Also, if using your 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 signals. 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 AT&T.
