When using your phone as a walkie-talkie radio, hold
the phone a minimum separation distance of one inch
(2.5 cm) between your face and the device, including
the antenna, to comply with FCC exposure limits.
Optimize your phone’s performance
Use the guidelines on page 1 to learn how to optimize
the performance and life of your phone, antenna, and
battery.
Air bags
If your vehicle has an air bag, DO NOT place installed
or portable phone equipment or other objects over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If
equipment is not properly installed, you and your
passengers risk serious injury.
Medical devices
Pacemakers—
Warning to pacemaker wearers:
wireless phones, when in the ‘on’ position, have been
shown to interfere with pacemakers. The phone
should be kept at least six (6) inches away from the
pacemaker to reduce risk.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and
the wireless technology research community
recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
•
Always keep the phone at least six inches
(15 centimeters) away from your pacemaker
when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn off your
phone immediately.
Hearing aids— Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult Verizon or call
the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices— If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the manufacturer of the
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
help you obtain this information.
In health care facilities—T urn your phone off in health
care facilities when instructed. Hospitals and health
care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—
Turn your phone off in any facility
when posted notices require you to do so.
Aircraft— FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
on a plane that is in the air. Turn your phone off or
switch it to Airplane mode (page 12) before boarding
aircraft.
Vehicles— RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer of the device
to determine if it is adequately shielded from external
RF energy.
Blasting areas— Turn off your phone where blasting is
in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres— Turn off your phone
when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks
in such areas could cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in bodily injury or 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
• transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
• 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
• any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine
Use with care
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid dropping,
hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
Keep phone dry
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately
and contact your dealer. Water damage may not be
covered under warranty.
