![107Safety GuidelinesPhone OperationNORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephonewith the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.Tips on Efficient OperationFor your phone to operate most efficiently:] Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone tooperate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.DrivingCheck the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areaswhere you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone whiledriving, please:] Give full attention to driving — driving safely is your firstresponsibility;] Use hands-free operation, if available;] Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if drivingconditions so require.Electronic DevicesMost modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signalsfrom your wireless phone.PacemakersThe Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that aminimum separation of six (6’) inches be maintained between a handheldwireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with thepacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independentresearch by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.](https://usermanual.wiki/LG-Electronics-USA/F9100/User-Guide-503633-Page-105.png)
![108Safety GuidelinesPersons with pacemakers:] Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from theirpacemaker when the phone is turned ON;] Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.] Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential forinterference.] If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turnyour phone OFF immediately.Hearing AidsSome digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In theevent of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.Other Medical DevicesIf you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer ofyour device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RFenergy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining thisinformation. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations postedin these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities maybe using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shieldedelectronic systems in motor vehicles.

![111Safety Guidelines] Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of thetype emitted by wireless phones;] Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to theuser that is not necessary for device function; and] Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possibleinformation on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agenciesthat have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensurecoordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong tothis working group:o National Institute for Occupational Safety and Healtho Environmental Protection Agencyo Occupational Safety and Health Administrationo National Telecommunications and Information AdministrationThe National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency workinggroup activities, as well.The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with theFederal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold inthe United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RFexposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safetyquestions about wireless phones.The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networksrely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do thewireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from thesebase stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can getfrom wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safetyquestions discussed in this document.](https://usermanual.wiki/LG-Electronics-USA/F9100/User-Guide-503633-Page-109.png)
