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. When the battery is detached from the phone, your battery is packed with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your battery when not in use.

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
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.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
