Efficient 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;

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.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Batteries

Caution: All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material, such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains, touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover. When the battery is detached from the phone, please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones 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.

Most modem 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 in 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 hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
