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 phone.

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 recommenda-

tions of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

G

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches

from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;

G

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

G

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize

the potential for interference;

G

Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason

to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones 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 dis-

cuss alternatives.) Optional for each phone manufacturer.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manu-

facturer 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 phone 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 exter-

nal RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shield-

ed electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufac-

turer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also

consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added

to your vehicle.
