Safety Guidelines
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use
of wireless phones in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving - driving safely
•
is your first responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if available;
•
Pull off the road and park before making
•
or answering a call if driving conditions
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
•
10
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 potential 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
service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may use equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
