Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference
or danger. When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its
user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing
over your shoulder if you are using an external antenna).
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches)
be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•
should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker
when the phone is switched on.
•
should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•
should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your
phone off immediately.
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some
hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones
also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
