Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals. Howev-
er, certain electronic equipment may
not be shielded against the RF sig-
nals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturer's
Association recommends that a min-
imum separation of six (6") inches
be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions are consistent with the inde-
pendent research by and recom-
mendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON
• should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
• should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the poten-
tial for interference.
• should turn the phone OFF imme-
diately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone OFF im-
mediately.

Safety Information
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 your hearing aid manu-
facturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medi-
cal device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they
are adequately shielded from exter-
nal RF energy. Your physician may
be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn you phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations post-
ed in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly in-
stalled or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehi-
cles. 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.
