For vehicles equipped with

airbags

An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including
either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equip-
ment is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury could
result.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from radio frequency (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 min-
imum separation of 6inches (21 cm)
bemaintained 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
interfere 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
posted in these areas instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facili-
