112 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
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 (where applicable).
• 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 safely is your first responsibility.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
In addition, Ericsson suggests the following safe driving tips if you are using
your phone while driving:
• Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
• Position your wireless phone within easy reach.
• Suspend conversations during hazardous driving
conditions or situations.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
• Use your wireless phone to call for help.
• Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies.
• Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance
number when necessary.
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.
