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.
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.
Keep phone dry
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately and
contact your dealer. Water damage may not be covered
under warranty.
