Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following precautions:
• ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the
implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential
for interference.
• Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical
device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with your
implantable medical device, consult your healthcare provider.
Driving Precautions
The use of wireless phones while driving may cause distraction. Discontinue a call if
you can't concentrate on driving.
Additionally, the use of wireless devices and their accessories may be prohibited or
restricted in certain areas. Always obey the laws and regulations on the use of
these products.
Responsible driving practices can be found in the "Smart Practices While Driving"
section in this guide (or separate guide).
Operational Warnings
Obey all posted signs when using mobile devices in public areas.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted and
can include fueling areas, such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain dust, or metal powders.
When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not remove,
install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion
or fire.
