ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the
RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone
must be restricted in certain situations.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6°±) inches 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.
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart
pacemaker implant when using your phone. Doing so could result in
interference with the function of the pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers :
●ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker
when the phone is turned on.
●Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
●Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
●If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF 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 (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
� � � Note : For phones complying with the ANSI HAC standard, use
FCC-approved language.
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare
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 vehicles. 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 where posted notices so require.
