Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently: Don’t 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
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 when, where and as permitted by law, you MUST observe the
following:
1. Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;
2. Use hands-free operation, if available;
3. Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions or the law requires that
you do so.
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:
1. Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
2. Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
3. Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference;
4. Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
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.
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).
