Road Safety - NEC 338 User Manual

A message from your handset manufacturer NEC
• The operation of some medical electronic
devices, such as hearing aids and
pacemakers, may be affected if you use a
mobile phone next to them. Observe any
warning signs and the manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Your phone contains metal which may
cause a skin irritation, a rash or eczema.

Road safety

• You MUST exercise proper control of your
vehicle at all times. Give your full
attention to driving.
• Observe all local safety regulations
regarding the use of mobile phones while
driving.
• Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call.
• You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder
of a motorway to answer or make a call,
except in an emergency.
10.5 User guide
• Switch off your phone at a refuelling
point, such as a petrol station, even if you
are not refuelling your own car.
• Do not store or carry flammable or
explosive materials in the same
compartment as a radio transmitter.
• Electronic vehicle systems, such as anti-
lock brakes, speed control and fuel
injection systems are not normally
affected by radio transmissions. The
manufacturer of such equipment can
advise if it is adequately shielded from
radio transmissions. If you suspect vehicle
problems caused by radio transmissions,
consult your dealer and do not switch on
the phone until it has been checked by
qualified approved installers.
PL-4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Check if local laws and/or regulations
restrict the use of phones while driving.
Vehicles equipped with an airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the airbag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Third party equipment
The use of third party equipment, batteries, cables or
accessories, not made or authorised by NEC, may
invalidate the warranty of your phone and also
adversely affect the phone's operation.
Service
The phone, batteries and charger contain no user-
serviceable parts. We recommend that your NEC phone
is serviced or repaired by an NEC authorised service
centre. Please contact 3 or NEC for advice.
Efficient use
The phone has an internal antenna. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption,
please do not cover the
internal antenna area with your hand. Covering the
internal antenna affects call quality, may cause the
phone to operate at higher power levels than needed
and may shorten talk and standby times.
Radio frequency energy
Your phone is a low-power radio transmitter/receiver.
When it is turned on, it intermittently receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves).
The system that handles the call controls the power
level at which the phone transmits.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
The phone is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to RF energy set by national authorities and
international health agencies.* These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of radio wave exposure for the general
population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations such as ICNIRP
(International
Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection)
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The limits
