Health and Safety Information 102

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.

Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may wish to consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices, 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. Switch 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.
