Introduction

Tip

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

Extend your antenna fully.

Do not 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

In the areas where you drive, always obey the local laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones.

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 require you to do so.

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.
