RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
RF energy interference from external sources if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
configured for RF energy compatibility. In some
circumstances your phone may cause interference.
Facilities
Turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. These facilities may include
hospitals or health care facilities that may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on
board an aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 inches
(15 centimeters) from your pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON.
• NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
• Turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
