44 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
• Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsi-
bility.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving tips if you
are using your phone while driving:
• Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial.
• Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
• Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
conditions or situations.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you
are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting.
• Use your wireless phone to call for help.
• Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assis-
tance number when necessary.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
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 inter-
ference 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 poten-
tial 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 your ser-
vice provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alterna-
tives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufac-
turer 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
