SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
WIRELESS HANDHELD PHONES
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a hand-
held 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.
If you have a pacemaker:
l
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pace-
maker when the phone is turned on.
l
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
l
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
l
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).
