any other telephone with the antenna pointed up
and over your shoulder.
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

than otherwise needed.

less telephones In the areas where you drive.

from RF signals. However, certain electronic equip­
ment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers.
The health Industry Manufacturers Association rec­
ommends that a minimum separation of six (6") Inch­
es be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interfer-
ance 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 pock­
et.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that inter­
ference is taking place, turn your phone OFF
immediately.

some hearing aids. In the event of such interfer­
ence, you may want to consult your service provid­
er [or call the customer service line to discuss alter­

quately shielded electronic systems in motor vehi­
