Reference information
•
Do not store the phone in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal
temperature), moisture can form inside and may damage electronic
circuit boards.
•
Do not attempt to open the phone. Nonexpert handling may damage it.
•
Do not drop, knock, or shake the phone. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
to clean the phone.
•
Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
•
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the phone and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your phone, battery, charger
or any accessory. If any of them are not working properly, take them to
your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you,
and if necessary, arrange for service.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This section provides additional safety information. A brief overview of
safety can be found in “Safety first” on page 1.
Traffic safety
Do not use a hand-held 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!
[ 96 ]
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.
Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to
the phone, and persons with a hearing aid should not hold the phone to
the ear with the hearing aid. Always secure the phone in its holder, because
metallic materials may be attracted by the earpiece. Do not place credit
cards or other magnetic storage media near the phone, because information
stored on them may be erased.
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.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
6-8 inches (20 cm) be maintained between a hand-held 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 phone more than 6 inches (20 cm) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
•
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
switch off your phone immediately.

HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular 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 phone 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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic antiskid/antilock braking systems, electronic speed control systems,
air bag systems). Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding
your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone when at a refuelling point
(service station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on
the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress.
[ 98 ]
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 liquefied 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.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone or install the phone in
a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may
invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.
Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted
and operating properly.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates
with great force. Do not place objects, including both installed or portable
wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could result.
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your
phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in an
aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of
telephone services to the offender, legal action or both.

• MAKE EMERGENCY CALLS
Important: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, wireless, and landline networks as well as user-programmed
functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
wireless phone for essential communications (for example, medical
emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or
when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check
with local service providers.
