RF Energy
Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy
interference from external sources if inadequately
shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF
energy compatibility. In some circumstances your
mobile device may cause interference with other
devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference
Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted
notices instruct you to do so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever
instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device
offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult
airline staff about using it in flight.

consult your hearing aid manufacturer or physician to
discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices and Health Care
Facilities
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
your physician or the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy.
Turn off your mobile device when instructed to do so in
hospitals or health care facilities that may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
