Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (6”) or 15 centimeters (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
•Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
•Should 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.
Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, consult your wireless service provider and hearing aid manufacturer.
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 phone 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.
Vehicles: RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities: Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air; switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft unless otherwise advised by airline personnel.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in other areas posted: “Turn off
