Section 8A: Important Safety Information 385
Safety
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is
prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety
always comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your Treo safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given
area. Turn the phone feature of your device off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may
cause interference or danger.
Using Your Treo 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 whether they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Note
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.
