Safety Guidelines
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
]
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when
the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless phones in the areas where you drive.
Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while
driving, please:
]
Give full attention to driving - driving safely is
your first responsibility;
]
Use hands-free operation, if available;
]
Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six
(6') inches be maintained between a handheld
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 six
inches from their pacemaker when the phone
is turned 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, turn your phone OFF
immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult AT&T.
