To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the

network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until

such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are

followed until the transmission is completed.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device. 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 function of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a

physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are

adequately shielded from external RF energy. Switch off your device when regulations

posted instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment

sensitive to external RF energy.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3

centimeters (6 inches) between a wireless device and an implanted medical device, such

as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference

with the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
● Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the

medical device.

● Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
● Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
● Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place.

● Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical

device, consult your health care provider.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems

in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock)

braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems. For more

information, check with the manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any

equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty

installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may
