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 phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(20 cm.) 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:
• Should always keep the phone more than 6 inches (20 cm) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your phone 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.
Other Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular phones,
may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you
have any questions. Switch off your phone in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.

Reference Information
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection systems, electronic
anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag
systems). 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.
Posted Facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility where posted notices so require.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a refueling point (service
station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical
plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats; chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.
Vehicles
Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the phone in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate
any warranty which may apply to the unit.
