Important safet
information
Remember to follow any special regulations governing the use of
the Proton and always switch it off in areas where radio devices are
forbidden, or when it may cause interference or danger. Any safety
laws and regulations pertaining to the use of cell phones and two-
way radios will likely apply to your use of the Proton. We
encourage you to follow such laws and regulations at all times. In
particular, please observe all restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas),
chemical plants, where blasting operations are in progress or in any
other area in which restrictions on radio transmissions are imposed.
The Proton is not an FAA-approved electronic device for use on
aircraft. Switch off the Proton when in an aircraft. The effect of the
use of the Proton in an aircraft is unknown. Such use may affect
aircraft instrumentation, communication and performance, may
disrupt the network, and may be illegal.
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the
Proton, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately
protected medical devices, including pacemakers. Consult a
physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any
questions. Additionally, the effect of the radio signals from the
Proton on other electronic systems, including those in your car
(such as electronic fuel-injection systems, electronic anti-skid
braking systems, and electronic cruise-control systems) is unknown
and malfunction of these systems may result.
Avoid using the Proton in any environment requiring your full
attention, such as when driving a vehicle. Do not use the cradle
provided in the Proton package as a means of storing your Proton
while in a vehicle. When using a cradle, make sure that it is a cradle
that RIM has supplied for that particular use of your Proton. Do not
use any cradle, charging unit or any other accessory that is not
manufactured or supplied by RIM or an authorized RIM accessories
