RF Interference
Electronic Devices. Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless device.
Pacemakers. The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• S hould ALWAYS keep the device more than six (6)
inches from their pacemaker when the device is
turned ON;
• S hould not carry the device in a breast pocket;
• S hould use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference;
• S hould turn the device OFF immediately if there
is any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.

Hearing Aids. Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service
provider (or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives).
Other Medical Devices. If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities. Turn your device OFF in health
care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Vehicles. RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. 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.
Posted Facilities. Turn your device OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.
