SAFETY INFORMATION
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 rec-
ommendations 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 pace-
maker.
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 hear-
ing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want
to consult your service provider (or call the customer service
line to discuss alternatives).
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.
Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any regu-
lations 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.
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in
the area over the airbag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
