Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always
switch your mobile device off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it
may cause interference or danger. When connecting the mobile device or any
accessory to another device, read its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions.
Do not connect incompatible products.
Using Your Mobile Device Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from Radio Frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the
RF signals from your wireless mobile device. Consult the manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a
handheld wireless mobile device and an implantable medical device, such
as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter deibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the device.
Persons who have such devices:
• Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6) inches from their
implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON
• Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket
• Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the
potential for interference
