16. Important safety
information
Traffic safety
• Do not use the communicator while driving a
vehicle. Park the vehicle before using the
communicator.
• Always secure the communicator in its holder,
and ensure that the locking mechanism on top
of the holder is properly engaged; do not place
the communicator on the passenger seat or
where it can break loose in a collision or
sudden stop.
• The use of an alert device to operate a
vehicle’s lights or horn on public roads is not
permitted.
• Remember, road safety always comes first!
Operating environment
• Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in any area, and always switch off your
communicator’s phone interface whenever it
is forbidden to use a mobile phone, or when it
may cause interference or danger.
• Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including the Nokia 9000il
Communicator, may interfere with the func-
tionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufac-
turer of the medical device if you have any
questions. Other electronic equipment may
also be subject to interference.
• As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for the safety of personnel, it is recommended
that the equipment should only be used in
the normal operating position.
• Users are advised to switch off the phone
interface when at a refueling point (service
station). Users are reminded of the need to
observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress.
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment
as the communicator, its parts or accessories.
• Only qualified personnel should install or
service the communicator in a vehicle. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and
may invalidate any warranty which may
apply to the unit.
• Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic
anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise
control systems and other electronic systems
can malfunction due to the lack of protection
from radio signals. Check regularly that all
cellular phone equipment in your vehicle is
mounted and operating properly.
• Remember to make backup copies of all
important data to protect against its possible
loss or alteration.
• When connecting the communicator to a PC
or printer, please refer to the User’s Guides of
those devices for detailed safety instructions.
• The infrared beam of the communicator may
interfere with the functioning of other
infrared devices that are not IrDA certified. Do
not point the infrared beam at anyone’s eye.
