INTERFERENCE WITH
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
FUNCTIONS
This product maycause medical
equipment to malfunction. The
use of this device is prohibited
in most hospitals and medical
clinics. If you use any personal
medical device(s), consult the
manufacturer of your device(s)
to determine if the device(s) are
adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health
care facilities when any
regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones
may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to
consult your service provider, or
call the customer service line to
discuss alternatives.
NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal
antenna. This product should be
operated in its normal-use
position to ensure the radiative
performance and safety from
interference. As with other
mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised
that for satisfactory operation of
the equipment and for personal
safety, it is recommended that
no part of the human body be
allowed to come too close to
the antenna during operation of
the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral
antenna. Use of unauthorized or
modified antennas may impair
call quality and damage the
phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels
exceeding the recommended
limits as well as result in non-
compliance with local regulatory
requirements in your country.
5
Important Health Information and Safety Precautions

To assure optimal phone
performance and ensure human
exposure to RF energy is within
the guidelines set forth in the
relevant standards, always use
your device only in its normal-
use position. Contact with the
antenna area may impair call
quality and cause your device to
operate at a higher power level
than needed. Avoiding contact
with the antenna area when the
phone is in use optimizes the
antenna performance and the
battery life.
HAC

body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna. Third-
party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing
metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot
maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
distance between the user ’ s
body and the backof the phone
and have not been tested for
compliance with FCC RF
exposure limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External
Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user /
bystander and vehicle-mounted
external antenna. For more

causing the harmful interference
by turning the equipment off
and then back on to see if the
interference is affected. If
necessary, try correcting the
interference by one or more of
the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation
between the equipment and
receiver.
