>> Health and safety information
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.
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.
