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 recom- mends that a minimum separation of six(6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pace- maker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent 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 mini- mize the potential for interference
•If you have any reason to suspect that interference in 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 cus- tomer service line to discuss alternatives.] Optional for each phone manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are 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 equip- ment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inade- quately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equip- ment that has been added to your vehicle.
