magnetic storage media near the device, because
information stored on them may be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including
wireless phones, may interfere with the function of
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician
or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine
whether they are adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Switch off your device when regulations posted
instruct you to 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. If your device supports voice calls over the internet
(internet calls), activate both the internet calls and the
cellular phone. The device may attempt to make emergency
calls over both the cellular networks and through your
internet call provider if both are activated. 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
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.
