ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COM- PATIBILITY
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
FACILITIES
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
AIRCRAFT
When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
MEDICAL DEVICES
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, the United States Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•not carry the phone in the breast pocket.
•use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
•turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
