Important safety information
Traffic safety
Do not use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. 
If using a hand-held phone park the vehicle before conversing. 
Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the phone on the 
passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or sudden 
stop.
The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn on 
public roads is not permitted.
Remember, road safety always comes first!
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and 
always switch off your phone 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).
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.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 
6 inches (20 cm.) 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.
