17. 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.
Your device and its enhancements may
contain small parts. Keep them out of the
reach of small children.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines
when used either in the normal use
position against the ear or when
positioned at least 7/8 inch (2.2 cm)
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 at least
7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from your body.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the device,
and persons with a hearing aid should
not hold the device to the ear with the
hearing aid. Always secure the device in
its holder, because metallic materials
may be attracted by the earpiece. 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 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.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend
that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15.3 cm) 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. To minimise the
potential for interference, persons with
pacemakers should
• Always keep the device more than
6 inches (15.3 cm) from their
pacemaker when the device is
switched on
• Not carry the device in a breast
pocket
• Hold the device to the ear opposite
the pacemaker
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch off
your device immediately to minimise the
potential for interference.
