• IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Traffic safety

Do not use a wireless telephone while driving a vehicle. Always secure the phone in its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.

Remember road safety always comes first!

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations and always switch off your phone wherever forbidden, or when it may cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or accessory to another device, read its user’s guide for safety instructions. Don’t connect incompatible products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised to operate this equipment only in the normal operating position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

PERSONS WITH A PACEMAKER:

•Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on.

18 • Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

•Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

•Should switch off the phone immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
