For Your Safety

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Don’t 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.

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 (6) 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;

Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
