Guidelines for Safe and Ef ficient Use General Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type of mobile phone you have bought, it operates in different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modu- lation techniques.
If you are going to use your mobile phone while driv- ing: • Give full attention to driving. • Use hands-free operation, if available. • Pull off the road and park before making or an- swering a call if driving conditions so require. RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off your phone when in any area with a poten- tially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bod- ily injury or even death.
