People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should keep

such devices. For the antenna loca-
tions, see "ANTENNA LOCATIONS"

Users of any electrical medical de-
vice other than implanted pacemak-
ers and implanted cardiac defibrilla-
tors should consult the manufactur-
er of the device for information
about its operation under the influ-
ence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical de-
vices.
