3. Health and Safety Recommendations
Ergonomic Recommendations
Caution: In order to avoid or minimize the potential risk of ergonomic injury follow the
recommendations below. Consult with your local Health & Safety Manager to ensure that you are
adhering to your company’s safety programs to prevent employee injury.
• Reduce or eliminate repetitive motion
• Maintain a natural position
• Reduce or eliminate excessive force
• Keep objects that are used frequently within easy reach
• Perform tasks at correct heights
• Reduce or eliminate vibration
• Reduce or eliminate direct pressure
• Provide adjustable workstations
• Provide adequate clearance
• Provide a suitable working environment
• Improve work procedures.
Vehicle Installation
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles (including safety systems). 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.
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your device without removing your eyes
from the road.
Note: Connection to an alert device that will cause a vehicle horn to sound or lights to flash, on
receipt of a call on public roads, is not permitted.
Safety on the Road
Do not take notes or use the device while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your
address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility - Give full attention to driving. Check the laws
and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
