For vehicles equipped with Air Bags
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including ei- ther installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment ar- ea. If
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturer’s Association recommends that a min- imum separation of six inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommenda- tions are consistent with the inde- pendent research by and recommen- dations 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 poten- tial for interference;
•should turn the phone OFF imme- diately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may in- terfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider or your hearing aid manu- facturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medi- cal devices, consult the manufactur- ers of your devices to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtain- ing this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations post- ed 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.
