 • IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This section provides additional safety information. A brief overview of safety can 
be found in “For your safety” on page 7.
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!
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.
