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.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use
of wireless phones in the areas where you
drive and always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please observe
the following:

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
or the law require it.

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.
