When using any data feature of the radio product, with or without an accessory cable,
position the antenna of the radio product at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the body.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Holding the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the radio product to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from your radio product.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15 cm) 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 and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than six inches from the pacemaker when the
radio product is turned ON.
•
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
•
Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some radio products 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 adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio product 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 product OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent possible
interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United States Federal
Communications Commission prohibit use when the plane is airborne. The United
States Department of Transportation regulations require you have permission from a
crew member to use your radio product while the plane is on the ground.
