Traffic safety

Remember that the safety of opera ting a motor vehicle in
traffic requires the full attention of all motorists. Only use the
features offered by your car kit phone if traffic conditions

Remember: road safety always comes first!

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area
and always switch off your car kit phone whenever it is
forbidden to use it, or when it may ca use interference or
danger.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF si gnals from your car kit
phone.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation distance of 20 cm be maintained between the
vehicle antenna 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.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, switch your car kit phone over to off mode immediately.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Switch your car kit phone ove r to off mode, see “Off mode” on
page 22, when in any are a with a potentially explo sive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explos ion or fire resulting in bod ily injury
or even death.
Users are advised not to use the car ki t phone when at a
refuelling point. Remember to observe the restrictions on the
use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemica l plants or where blasting
operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but
not always, clearly marked. They include below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquified
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal
powders, and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
