Avoid interference with other electronic devices 

Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or 

improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, 

medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the 

manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problem you 

experience.
