Interference to Other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the
vehicle.
Safety and General Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the area where you drive. Always obey them.
When using the phone while driving, please:
■ Give full attention to driving and to the road
■ Use hands-free operation, if available
■ Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Aircraft Safety
Turn your radio OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent possible interference to aircraft systems. Regulations
of the United States Federal Aviation Administration prohibit use when the aircraft is in the air and require you have
permission from a crew member to use your radio while the aircraft is one the ground.
Non-ionizing Radiation
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment
and for the safety of the personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come to close
to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
General Safety Information
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised to heed all posted warnings on the use and
operation of Treo and to turn off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fueling
stations, even where no warnings or notices are posted.
Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT! The Treo communications features operate using radio signals, like any wireless phone, wireless and
landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon Treo for essential
communications (for example, medical emergencies).
Remember, the phone feature must be on in order to make or receive calls and you must be in a service area with
adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain net-
work services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.
