RF energy interference/compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external sources if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some
circumstances, your mobile device may cause interference with other devices.
Follow instructions to avoid interference problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so, such
as hospitals or healthcare facilities.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your
mobile device offers a flight mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it
in-flight.
Medical devices
If you have a medical device, including an implantable medical device such as a pacemaker
or defibrillator, consult your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer's directions
before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following precautions:
• ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimetres (8 inches) from the
implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimise the potential for
interference.
• Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Specific absorption rate (ICNIRP)
SAR (ICNIRP)
YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits
for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by
international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific
organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
