Phone operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Tips on efficient operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
●
Extend your antenna fully.
●
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
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
●
Give full attention to driving--driving safety 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 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 hand-held 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 pacemaker 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 your service provider (or call the customer service line
to discuss alternatives.) Optional for each phone
manufacturer.
