Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless telephones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Observe the following
guidelines when using your phone while driving.
•
Give full attention to driving--driving safely is
your first responsibility.
•
Use hands-free phone 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 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
inches (6") 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
•
should turn the phone OFF immediately if
you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place
