electronic devices

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in
certain situations.
pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be
maintained between a handheld wireless phone 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.
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart pacemaker implant when using your phone. Doing
so could result in interference with the function of the pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones 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 phone 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 phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
