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 recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;

If you have any reason to suspect 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 hearing
aid manufacturer 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 health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
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.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
