SAFETY
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your Sharp FX must be
restricted in certain situations.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six (6“) inches be maintained between
a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research byand recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart
pacemaker implant when using your Sharp FX. Doing so could result in
interference with the function of the pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker
when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your Sharp FX OFF immediately.
