area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury
and possible property damage.
Protect Your Hearing
Listening to a headset at high volumes can damage your hearing. Use only the
minimum volume setting necessary to hear your conversation or music.
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 phone 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 by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. 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
phone OFF immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives).
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device
to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in
healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
