For Your Safety
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation
of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless device 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:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker
when the device is turned ON;
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference;
• Should turn the tablet OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless device 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 it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
