Important Safety Information 1

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for
Emergency Calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
mobile phone for essential communication (e.g.,
medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be
possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services or mobile phone features are in
use. Check with your local service provider for
details.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the
phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in
some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific
restrictions. Remember that safety always comes
first.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always
follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn
your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or
when it may cause interference or danger.

2 Important Safety Information

Medical Devices

If you have a medical device, including an
implantable medical device such as a pacemaker or
defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the
device manufacturer’s directions before using this
mobile phone.

Persons with implantable medical devices:

● Should always keep the mobile phone more than
six (6) inches from the implantable medical device
when the mobile phone is turned ON.

● Should not carry the mobile phone in the breast
pocket.

● Should use the ear opposite the implantable
medical device to minimize the potential for
interference.

● Should turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if
you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place.

Using Your Phone Near Other
Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals
from wireless phones may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or
entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with

Important Safety Information 3

the manufacturer or their representative to determine if
these systems are adequately shielded from external
RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding
any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF signals.

Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare

facilities, and request permission before
using the phone near medical equipment.

Using Your Phone On Airplanes

On airplanes, follow applicable airline regulations
and always follow the flight crew’s instructions
concerning the use of your phone.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous
Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your phone off when in a blasting area or in other
areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be
turned off. Construction crews often use remote­control RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has
a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare,
your phone and accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in
bodily injury or even death. These areas are often,
but not always, clearly marked. They include:

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play
with it as they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone, or make calls that increase your
invoice.
