Only qualified personnel must service or repair the smartphone or its
accessory.

Interference
General statement on interference: Care must be taken when
using the smartphone in close proximity to personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers: Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To
achieve this use the smartphone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing aids: People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants
may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device
and the distance from the interference source; increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also
consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical devices: Please consult your doctor and the device
manufacturer to determine if operation of your smartphone may
interfere with the operation of your medical device.
