Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone, with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
For 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
Important: Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always
obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving:
• Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first
responsibility;
• Use handsfree 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 6
inches (6”) or 15 centimeters (15 cm) be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with independent research
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,
consult your Service Provider and hearing aid manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices: If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles: RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding
your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of
any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities: Turn your phone OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.
