Safety

k Electronic Devices

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio

transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends

out radio frequency (RF) signals.

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.

However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded

against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of

your phone must be restricted in certain situations.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that

a minimum separation of six (6) inches 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.

Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart

pacemaker implant when using your phone. Doing so could result

in interference with the function of the pacemaker.

Persons with pacemakers:

• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from your

pacemaker when the phone is turned on.

• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential

for interference.

• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking

place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
