Persons with pacemakers:
• should always keep the phone more than
15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
the phone is switched on.
• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, switch your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
Switch 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 equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations
in force in any area and always switch your phone
off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it
may cause interference or danger. When connecting
the phone or any accessory to another device, read
its user's guide for detailed safety instructions.
Do not connect incompatible products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for the satisfactory operation
of the equipment and for the safety of personnel,
it is recommended that the equipment should only
be used in the normal operating position (held to
your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Using Your Phone Near Other 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.
Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
