Medical Devices
If you have a medical device, including an
implantable medical device such as a
pacemaker or defibrillator, consult your
healthcare provider and the device
manufacturer’s directions before using this
mobile phone.
Persons with implantable medical devices:
● Should always keep the mobile phone
more than six (6) inches from the
implantable medical device when the
mobile phone is turned ON.
● Should not carry the mobile phone in the
breast pocket.
● Should use the ear opposite the
implantable medical device to minimize
the potential for interference.
● Should turn OFF the mobile phone
immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Using Your Phone Near Other
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, RF signals from wireless phones
may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic
operating systems or entertainment
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or their representative to
determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also
check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal
medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids, to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF
signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in
healthcare facilities, and request
permission before using the phone near
medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before
Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any
aircraft. To prevent possible interference
with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require you to have permission from a crew
member to use your phone while the plane
is on the ground. To prevent any risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using
your phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in
Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn your phone off when in a blasting area
or in other areas with signs indicating two-
way radios should be turned off.
Construction crews often use remote-
control RF devices to set off explosives.
