Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
•
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference
•
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
the manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, 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.
Health Care Facilities
Turn 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 use 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.

Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in
use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed.

Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones in the areas where you drive and always obey
them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please observe
the following:
•
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first
responsibility;
•
Use hands-free operation, if available;
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions or the law so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of 6 in 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.
