Health and safety information

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is 

taking place, switch off your phone 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 off your phone 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 motor 

vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its 

representative regarding your vehicle. You should also 

consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has 

been added to your vehicle. You should also consult 

the manufacturer of any equipment that has been 

added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities

Switch off your phone in any facility where posted 

notices require you to do so.
