TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: For your phone to operate
most efficiently: Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone
is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Electronic Devices- Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF signals. However. certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from our wireless phone. Pacemakers: The
Health Industry Manufacturer’s Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace-
maker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Per-
sons with pacemakers: Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON; Should not
carry the phone in a breast pocket, Should use the ear opposite the pace-
maker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF imme-
diately.
Other Medical Devices- If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn you phone OFF in
health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
