■ Additional safety information
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always 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 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) 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 at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection
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.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device.
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of
reach of small children.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless devices, 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 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 6 inches
(15.3 cm) be maintained between a wireless device 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
•
Always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) 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
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your device immediately.

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference
occurs, consult your hearing aid provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic
antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative
of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device 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 device, its
parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an
air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including 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.
Airplanes
Using your device while flying may be prohibited. Switch off your device before
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous
to the operation of the aircraft, may disrupt the wireless teledevice network, and
may be illegal.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of teledevice
services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Switch off the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service stations.
Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas, chemical 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 liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
