Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference
or danger.
Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.

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
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15.3 cm) be maintained between a handheld 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:
• Should always keep the phone more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your phone immediately.
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.

Other medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular 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 phone 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 energy.
