Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturer's
Association recommends that a min-
imum separation of six inches (6")
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 there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.

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 devices, consult the manufactur-
ers of your devices to determine if
they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtain-
ing this information.
Turn your 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
installed 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.
