SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD HANDSETS
SAFETY AND WARRANTY
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your handset OFF where posted notices so require.
OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using your handset while in the air. Turn
your handset OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and
obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized airline
representative before using your handset aboard an aircraft.
Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenev-
er using your handset aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible
interference with airborne electronic equipment.
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your handset
OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-
way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your handset OFF when in any area with a potentially explo-
sive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or 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’s engine.

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD HANDSETS
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless handset.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless handset 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 :
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your handset OFF in healthcare facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
130
• ALWAYS keep the handset more than six inches from your
pacemaker when the handset is turned on.
• Do not carry the handset in a breast pocket.
• 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 handset OFF immediately.
