do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment sensitive to external RF

energy.

Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres

(6 inches) between a wireless device and an implanted medical device, such as a

pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with

the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:

Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) from the

medical device.

Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.

Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.

Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place.

Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical

device, consult your health care provider.

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in

motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection, electronic antilock braking, electronic

speed control, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer

of your vehicle or its equipment.

Only qualified personnel should service the device or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty

installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate your warranty. Check

regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating

properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the

same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories. Remember that air bags inflate

with great force. Do not place your device or accessories in the air bag deployment area.

Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an

aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may be illegal.

Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all

posted instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in

bodily injury or death. Switch off the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps

at service stations. Observe restrictions in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas;

chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially

explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include areas

where you would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine, below deck on boats,

chemical transfer or storage facilities and where the air contains chemicals or particles

such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the manufacturers of

vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to determine if this

device can be safely used in their vicinity.

Emergency calls
Important:
This device operates using radio signals, wireless networks, landline

networks, and user-programmed functions. The device will attempt to make emergency

calls only over cellular networks. Connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You

should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical

emergencies.

To make an emergency call:

1

If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Depending

on your device, you may also need to complete the following:

Insert a SIM card if your device uses one

Remove certain call restrictions you have activated in your device.

Change your profile from offline or flight profile mode to an active profile.

2

Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the device

for calls.

3

Enter the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency numbers

vary by location.

4

Press the call key.

When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as

possible. Your wireless device may be the only means of communication at the scene of

an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
