Medical devices
Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers:
Wireless phones, when in the ‘on’ position, have
been shown to interfere with pacemakers. The
phone should be kept at least six (6) inches away
from the pacemaker to reduce risk.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
and the wireless technology research community
recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
• Always keep the phone at least six inches (15
centimeters) away from your pacemaker when
the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn off your phone
immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with 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.
Other medical devices—If you use any other
personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of the device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to help you obtain this information.
In health care facilities—Turn your phone off in
health care facilities when instructed. Hospitals
and health care facilities may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any
facility when posted notices require you to do so.
Aircraft—FCC regulations prohibit using your
phone on a plane that is in the air. Turn your phone
off or switch it to Airplane Mode before boarding
aircraft.
Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer of the device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where
blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and
follow any regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres—Turn off
your phone when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or
death. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly
marked.
They include:
• fueling areas such as gas stations
• below deck on boats
• transfer or storage facilities for fuel or
chemicals
• vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as
propane or butane
• areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders
• any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine
Use with care
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid
dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
Avoid magnetic environments
Keep the phone away from magnets which can
cause improper functioning of the phone.
Keep your phone dry
Keep the phone dry. Damage can result if the
phone gets wet. Water damage is not covered
under warranty.
