Additional safety information■Operating environment
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the
reach of small children.
Remember to follow any special regulati ons in force in any area and alw ays 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 inches) 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 quality conn ection 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, inclu ding wireless phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately pr otected 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 (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless device or 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. To minimize the potential
for interference, persons with pacemakers should do the following:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the device is switched on
• Not carry the device in a breast pocket
• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
