should not hold the device to the ear with the hearing aid. Do not place
credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device, because
information stored on them may be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones,
may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you
have any questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities when
any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between wireless
devices 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 should do the following:
Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from
•
the pacemaker
•
Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is switched
on.
If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move it.
Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some
hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed
control systems, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the
manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that
has been added. Only qualified personnel should service the device, or
install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply to the device.
Check regularly that all wireless equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or
enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air
bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or
