certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
PACEMAKERS

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.
Persons with pacemakers :
l
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
l
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
l
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
l
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult with the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
POSTED FACILITIES
