Safety
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:
G
Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first
responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if available;
G
Pull off the road and park before making or answering
G
a call if driving conditions or the law 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 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)
G
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned
ON;
G
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
G
minimize the potential for interference;
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any
G
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider (or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives.) Optional for each
phone 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.
