Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you
would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
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.

wireless phones in the areas where you drive
and always obey them. Also, if using your phone
while driving, please observe the following:
AGive full attention to driving - driving safely is
your first responsibility;
AUse hands-free operation, if available;
APull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions or the
law 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:
AShould ALWAYS keep the phone more than
six (6) inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON;
