Other Safety Guidelines
Electronic Devices
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.
Pacemakers. The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separa- tion 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 indepen- dent research by 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 interfer- ence 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, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.)
Other Medical Devices. If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
