Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
]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
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 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.
