Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6")
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 the 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.
■ not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
■ use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
■ turn the phone OFF immediately if you have 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 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 it is ad-
equately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this infor-
mation.
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.
Interference to Other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these systems are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to the vehicle.
Turn your radio OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent possible interference to aircraft systems. Reg-
ulations of the United states Federal Aviation Administration prohibit use when the aircraft is in the air and
require you have permission from a crew member to use your radio while the aircraft is one the ground.
