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.
