Additional safety information

■Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always
switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use
position against the ear or when positioned at least 2.2 centimeters (7/8 inch)
away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn
operation, it should not contain metal and should position the device the above-
stated distance from your body.
To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good quality connection
to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation
distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.

■Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices.
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions.
Switch off your device 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.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15.3
centimeters (6inches) be m aintained between a 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 device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the
pacemaker when the device is switched on.
• Do not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move the device away.
