Important safety information
12. Important safety information
Traffic safety
Remember that the safety of operating a motor vehicle in traffic requires the full attention of all motorists. Only use the features offered by your car kit phone if traffic conditions permit safe use.
Remember: road safety always comes first!
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your car kit phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger.
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 car kit phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm be maintained between the vehicle antenna 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.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your car kit phone over to off mode immediately.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch your car kit phone over to off mode, see “Off mode” on page 22, when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised not to use the car kit phone when at a refuelling point. Remember to observe the restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquified petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
