Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force
in any area and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for detailed
safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation
of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position (held to your
ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult the
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained
between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a to do list or flipping through
your phonebook takes your attention away from
your primary responsibility, driving safely.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible,
place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car
is stationary. If you need to make a call while
moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road
and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make the
people with whom you are talking aware that you
are driving and suspend conversations that have
the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Dial the
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a
free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies. If you see a car accident, crime in
progress or other serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call the emergency number, as you
would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-
emergency wireless assistance number when
necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing
no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor
traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside
assistance or any other special non-emergency
wireless number.
