Reference information
•
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 enhancement. 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.
• UNDERSTAND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Traffic Safety
Do not use a handheld 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 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.
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 inches (20 cm) be maintained between a handheld 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.

Reference information
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 refueling 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.
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 enhancements.
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.
• 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.
