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 Virgin
Mobile 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 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. Your
auto manufacturer may be able to help you obtain
this information.

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.

Keep phone dry

Keep the phone dry. Damage can result if the
phone gets wet. Water damage is not covered
under warranty.
