Safety

Electronic Devices

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio

transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out

radio frequency (RF) signals.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.

However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against

the RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone

must be restricted in certain situations.

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.

Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart

pacemaker implant when using your phone. Doing so could result in

interference with the function of the pacemaker.

Persons with pacemakers:

ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from your

pacemaker when the phone is turned on.

Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that 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 service

provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
