Voice Kit  
Voice recognition capabilities of the SCH-a610 are  
exceptional due to advanced, speaker-independent  
technology. Speaker-independent means that you no longer  
need to “train” your phone to understand your voice. You can  
finally use your voice in a natural manner to dial numbers,  
lookup contacts, view your schedule, and much more. Please  
read the following content carefully to learn the most about  
this useful feature.

Digit Dial Tips  
Digit Dial works best in quieter environments.  
When pronouncing a number, speak at a normal speed,  
saying each digit clearly. There is no need to pause  
between digits.  
The phone recognizes the digits one, two, three, four,  
five, six, seven, eight, nine, zero, and oh (zero). It doesn’t  
recognize numbers such as “one eight hundred” for “1-  
800.Instead, say “one eight zero zero,or “one eight  
oh oh.”  
The phone recognizes only valid seven or ten-digit North  
American phone numbers, optionally preceded by the  
digit “1.”  
If you are experiencing frequent problems getting Digit  
Dial to recognize you, try adapting it to your voice, which  
can greatly improve accuracy. See the following section  
on Digit Dial Adaptation for more information.

numbers, say “No.”  
If there are other choices, the phone prompts you with  
them next.  
Choose a number from the list manually. Use the navigation  
key to highlight the number, then press  
to select.  
Digit Dial Adaptation  
Digit Dial works well for most people without special  
adaptation. However, people with strong accents or unique  
voice characteristics may obtain better results by adapting  
the system to better match their voices.  
You should adapt Digit Dial only if the system is frequently  
unable to recognize your speech. After you adapt Digit Dial,  
your phone is customized to your voice, and your voice only.  
Others will not be able to use it unless they reset the phone  
to factory defaults.  
Adaptation involves recording several digit sequences to  
adapt the system to the unique properties of your voice. The  
adaptation process takes about three minutes.  
TIPS FOR ADAPTING DIGIT DIAL  
Adapt digits in a quiet place.  
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to speak.  
Speak clearly, and say each digit distinctly.  
If you make a mistake while recording a sequence of  
digits, or if there is an unexpected noise that spoils the  
recording, re-record that sequence.

4. Wait for the beep and repeat the digits using your normal  
tone of voice.  
5. After a moment, the phone plays back the recording and  
prompts “Did the recording sound ok?” If the recording  
was good, say “Yes.If you need to re-record, say “No.”  
If you say “No,the phone prompts you to pronounce the  
digits again. Wait for the beep and then re-record.  
Repeat this step until you’re satisfied with the recording.  
6. After confirming that the recording sounds ok, repeat the  
recording process with the next set of digits. After six  
sets of digits, the phone asks whether you want to do  
more adaptation. Answer “Yes.”  
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for another six sets of digits. After the  
sixth set of digits, the phone indicates that adaptation  
is complete.

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the  
signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the  
current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to  
the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the  
stronger the signal.  
If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you  
better reception.  
Understanding the Power Save Feature  
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of  
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If  
your phone is active, it periodically rechecks service  
availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key.  
Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message  
displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone  
returns to standby mode.  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver.  
When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency  
(RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling  
your call controls the power level. This power can range from  
0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.  
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
136  
 
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics  
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards  
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for  
safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.  
More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from  
universities, government health agencies and industries  
developed this updated standard after reviewing the available  
body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a  
regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard  
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the  
guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation  
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).  
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance  
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel  
should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service  
may void the warranty.  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended  
and over your shoulder.  
Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone’s antenna.  
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.  
Speak directly into the phone’s receiver.  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or  
liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn  
the power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable,  
return it to Verizon Wireless or call Customer Care  
for service.

Even where it’s not, it can divert your attention from driving.  
Remember that safety always comes first.  
When using your phone in the car:  
Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed  
dial and redial.  
When available, use a hands-free device.  
Position your phone within easy reach.  
Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving;  
if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or  
hazardous weather conditions.  
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while  
driving.  
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place  
calls when you stationary or before pulling into traffic.

Following Safety Guidelines  
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and  
request permission before using the phone near medical  
equipment.  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow  
any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off  
in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause  
interference or danger.  
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded  
electronic equipment.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment  
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or  
their representative to determine if these systems are  
adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check  
with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has  
been added to your vehicle.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,  
such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they  
are adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety  
139  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent  
possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal  
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have  
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the  
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is  
in the air.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your  
phone when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs  
indicating that two-way radios should be turned off.  
Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to  
set off explosives.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives  
in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone  
or accessories.  
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a  
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your  
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could  
cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even  
death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.  
They include:  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such  
as grain, dust or metal powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
140  
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone  
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to  
play with it because they could hurt themselves and others,  
damage the phone or make calls that increase your  
phone bill.  
Caring for the Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and desktop  
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize  
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your  
warranty and may cause damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in  
temperatures that range from 32º F to 104º F  
(0º C to 40º C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high  
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used  
for a long period of time.  
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides  
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds  
of times before it needs replacing.  
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long  
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month:  
32º F to 131º F (0º C to 55º C)  
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety  
141  
More than one month:  
32º F to 104º F (0º C to 40º C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking  
Li-Ion battery.  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your  
nearest Samsung-authorized service center.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In  
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or  
business trash may be prohibited.  
Acknowledging Special Precautions and  
FCC  
FCC Notice  
The phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in  
close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require  
you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot  
be eliminated.  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or  
butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection  
Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the  
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,  
Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division.  
Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly  
approved in this document could void your warranty for this  
equipment, and void your authority to operate this equipment.  
Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The  
use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and  
142  
void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or  
a defect to the phone.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of  
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting,  
bending or sitting on it.  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if  
you wear a handset on your body, use the Samsung supplied  
or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn  
accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure  
that the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from  
your body when transmitting. Use of non- Samsung approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the  
FCC website at www.fcc.gov.  
FDA Consumer Update  
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any  
health problems are associated with using wireless phones.  
There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are  
absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio  
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being  
used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in stand-by  
mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects  
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not  
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health  
effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not  
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested  
that some biological effects may occur, but such findings  
have not been confirmed by additional research. In some  
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety  
143  
cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing  
those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent  
results.  
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of  
wireless phones?  
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-  
emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before  
they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical  
devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if  
wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy  
(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,  
FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to  
notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or  
recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA  
regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone  
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:  
Support needed research into possible biological effects  
of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;  
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF  
exposure to the user that it is not necessary for device  
function; and  
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the  
best possible information on possible effects of wireless  
phone use on human health.  
FDA belongs to a interagency working group of the federal  
agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF  
safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The  
following agencies belong to this working group:  
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health  
144  
Environmental Protection Agency  
Federal Communications Committee  
Occupational Safety and Health Administration  
The National Institutes of Health participates in some  
interagency working group activities, as well.  
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities about wireless phones  
with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All  
phones that are sold in the United States must comply with  
FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on  
FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about  
wireless phones.  
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone  
networks rely upon. While these base stations operate at  
higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the  
wireless exposures that people get from these base stations  
are typically thousands of times lower than those they get  
from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject  
of the safety questions discussed in this document.  
What kinds of phones are the subject of this  
update?  
The term “wireless phones” refers here to hand-held wireless  
phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,mobile,or  
“PCS”. These types of wireless phones can expose the user  
to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the  
short distance between the phone and the user’s head.  
These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications  
Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the  
advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.  
When the phone is located at greater distances from the  
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a  
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety  
145  
person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing  
distance from the source. The so-called “cordless phones”  
which have a base unit connected to the phone wiring in a  
house, typically operate at far lower per levels, and thus  
produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.  
What are the results of the research done already?  
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results,  
and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research  
methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of  
radio frequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of  
wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often  
cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal  
studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF could  
Accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals.  
However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor  
development used animals that had been genetically  
engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to  
be pre-disposed to develop cancer in absence of RF  
exposure. Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to  
22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the  
conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we  
don’t know with certainty what results of such studies mean  
for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since  
December 2000. Between them, the studies investigated any  
possible association between the use of wireless phones and  
primary brain cancer, glaucoma, meningioma, or acoustic  
neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or  
other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the  
existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phones  
RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer  
146  
questions about long-term exposures, since average period  
of phone use in these studies was around three years.  
What research is needed to decide whether RF  
exposure from wireless phones poses a health  
threat?  
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological  
studies of people actually using wireless phones would  
provide some of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal  
exposure studies could be completed in a few years.  
However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to  
provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one  
exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is  
directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more  
years’ follow-up may be needed to provide answers about  
some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the  
interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing  
agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be  
many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological  
studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF  
exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many  
factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which  
the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.  
What is FDA doing to find out more about the  
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?  
FDA is working with the U.S. Toxicology Program and with  
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high  
priority animal studies are conducted to address important  
questions about the effects of exposure to radio frequency  
energy (RF).  
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health  
Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)  
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety  
147  
Project since its inception in 1996. An influential result of tis  
work has been the development of a detailed agenda of  
research needs that has driven the establishment of new  
research programs around the world. The project has also  
helped develop a series of public information documents on  
EMF issues.  
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet  
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research and  
Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on  
wireless phone safety. FDA provides the scientific oversight,  
obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and  
academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted  
through contracts to independent investigators. The initial  
research will include both laboratory studies and studies of  
wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad  
assessment of additional research needs in the context of the  
latest research developments around the world.  
How can I find out how much radio frequency  
energy exposure I can get by using my wireless  
phone?  
All phones sold in the United States must comply with  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that  
limit radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC  
established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and  
other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for  
exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific  
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).  
The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards  
developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic  
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation  
Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into  
148  
consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from the  
tissue that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set  
well below levels known to have effects.  
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF  
exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC  
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for  
locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you  
can find your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.  
What has FDA done to measure the radio  
frequency energy coming from wireless phones?  
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is  
developing a technical standard for measuring the radio  
frequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and  
other wireless hand sets with the participation and leadership  
of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,  
“Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to  
Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental  
Techniques,sets forth the first consistent test methodology  
for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads  
of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-  
simulating model of the human head. Standardized SAR test  
methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency  
of measurements made at different laboratories on the same  
phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy  
absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of  
the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter.  
This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless  
phone complies with safety guidelines.  
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety  
149  
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to  
radio frequency energy from my wireless phone?  
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do  
not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if you are  
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a  
few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio  
frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how  
much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of  
time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.  
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless  
phone every day, you could place more distance between  
your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level  
drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could  
use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your  
body or use a wireless phone connected to a  
remote antenna.  
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that wireless  
phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about RF  
exposure from these products, you can use measures like  
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from  
wireless phone use.  
What about children using wireless phones?  
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of  
wireless phones, including children and teenagers. If you  
want to take steps to lower exposure to radio frequency  
energy (RF), the measured described above would apply to  
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the  
time of wireless phone use and increasing the distance  
between the user and the RF source will reduce  
RF exposure.  
150  
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have  
advised that children be discouraged from using wireless  
phones at all. For example, the government in the United  
Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a  
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no  
evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain  
tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit  
wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it  
was not based on scientific evidence that any health  
hazard exists.  
What about wireless phone  
interference with medical equipment?  
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can  
interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, FDA  
helped develop a detailed test method to measure  
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac  
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This  
test method is now part of a standard sponsored by the  
Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation  
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device  
manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed on  
late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure  
that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from  
wireless phone EMI.  
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld  
wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard  
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic  
Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and  
performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless  
phones so that no interference occurs when a person uses a

“compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at the  
same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000.  
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for  
possible interactions with other medical devices. Should  
harmful interference be found to occur, FDA will conduct  
testing to assess the interference and work to resolve  
the problem.

CTIA Safety Information  
Exposure to radio frequency signals  
Your wireless hand held portable telephone is a low power  
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and  
also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.  
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions  
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for  
152  
hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent  
with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and  
international standard bodies:  
ANSI C95.1 (1992)  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic  
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example,  
over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from  
universities, government health agencies, and industry  
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI  
Standard (C95.1).  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines  
(and those standards).  
Antenna care  
Use only the specified of approved replacement antenna.  
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could  
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.  
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.  
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.  
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety  
153  
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 safety is your  
first responsibility.  
Use hands-free operation, if available.  
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a  
call if driving conditions so require.  
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.  
PACEMAKERS  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends  
that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained  
between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to  
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These  
recommendations are consistent with the independent  
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology  
Research.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches  
from their pacemaker when the pacemaker is turned on;  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize  
the potential for interference.  
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is  
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.  
154  
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.) Optional for each  
phone manufacturer.  
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the  
manufacturer of your device to determine if they 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.  
VEHICLES  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the  
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You  
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that  
has been added to your vehicle.  
POSTED FACILITIES  
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices  
so require.  
Usage guidelines: All about performance and safety  
155  
Aircraft  
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air.  
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.  
Blasting areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone  
OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off  
two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.  
Potentially explosive atmospheres  
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially  
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.  
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire  
resulting in bodily injury of even death.  
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but  
not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such  
as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical  
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liguefied  
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the  
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or  
metal powders; and any other area where you would normally  
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.  
For vehicles equipped with an air bag  
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,  
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the  
area over the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless  
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,  
serious injury could result.
