RF Interference

Electronic Devices. Most modern electronic equipment

is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic

equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals

from your wireless device.

Pacemakers. The Health Industry Manufacturers

Association recommends that a minimum

separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a

handheld wireless device 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 device more than six (6)

inches from their pacemaker when the device is

turned ON;

• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize the potential for interference;

• Should turn the device OFF immediately if there

is any reason to suspect that interference is taking

place.

Hearing Aids. Some digital wireless devices may

interfere with some hearing 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 it is adequately shielded from

external RF energy. Your physician may be able to

assist you in obtaining this information.

Health Care Facilities. Turn your device OFF in health

care facilities when any regulations posted in these

areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care

facilities may use 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 device OFF in any facility

where posted notices so require.

Aircraft. FCC regulations prohibit using your device

while in the air. Switch OFF your device before

boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas. To avoid interfering with blasting

operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting

area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”.

Obey all signs and instructions.
