General information 31
• Medical Devices
• Pacemakers: The Advanced Medical Technology Association
(AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 15 cms (6
inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless device and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
• Persons with pacemakers should:
- ALWAYS keep the handheld wireless device more than 15 cms
from their pacemaker when the handheld wireless device is
turned ON.
- Not carry the handheld wireless device in the breast pocket.
- Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
- Turn the handheld wireless device OFF immediately if you have
any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
• Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
Cleaning
• Clean the handset and base (or charger) with a damp (not wet) cloth,
or an anti-static wipe.
• Never use household polish as this will damage the product. Never
use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.
Environmental
• Do not expose to direct sunlight.
• The handset may become warm when the batteries are being charged
or during prolonged periods of use. This is normal. However, we
recommend that to avoid damage you do not place the product on
antique/veneered wood.

generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing the free flow of air
over its surfaces.

electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug the power and
telephone line cord during an electrical storm.
