the device, and persons with a hearing aid should not hold the device to
the ear with the hearing aid. Always secure the device in its holder,
because metallic materials may be attracted by the earpiece. Do not place
credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device, because
information stored on them may be erased.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless
phones, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected
medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your phone 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.

PACEMAKERS

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15.3 cm) be maintained between a 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. To minimize the
potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should

pacemaker when the device is switched on

potential for interference
