• Additional safety information

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 5/8 inch(1.5 cm) away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip, or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the device at least 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) away from your body.

In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your phone in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15.3 cm) be maintained between a 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. To minimize the potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should

•Always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when the device is switched on

•Not carry the device in a breast pocket

•Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your device immediately.

Hearing aid

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.
