50 Product and safety information
Medical devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the function of inadequately
protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are
adequately shielded from external radio frequency energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) between a wireless
device and an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
•
Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device.
•
Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
•
Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
•
Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•
Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your health care
provider.
Hearing
Warning:
When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the headset where it can endanger
your safety.
Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.

Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as
electronic fuel injection, electronic antilock braking, electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more information,
check with the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment.
Only qualified personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may
invalidate your warranty. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating
properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its
parts, or accessories. Remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place your device or accessories in the air
bag deployment area.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, for example near gas pumps at gas stations.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or death. Observe restrictions in gas stations,
storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include areas where you would be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities and where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to determine if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
