Health and Safety Information 77

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating
position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder if you are
using an external antenna).

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Implantable Medical Devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device.

Persons who have such devices:

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical

device when the phone is turned ON;

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for

interference;

Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place;

Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical

device. If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a device,
consult your health care provider.
