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 1.5 centimeters (5/8 inches)

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 the above-stated distance from your body.
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 that 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. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic

storage media near the device, because information stored on them may be erased.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless 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 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 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between a

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

do the following:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the pacemaker
• Not carry the device in a breast pocket
• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move the device away.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service 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, and 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 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.

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 refueling 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.
