146 Appendix
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.
Note This is not necessary if the device is not held to the ear.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the 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.
For more regulatory information about hearing devices, see “FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations
for Wireless Devices”.
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.
HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
Turn your device OFF 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.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN 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.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your device OFF where posted notices so require.
Turn Off Your Device Before Flying
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the air. In addition,
most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable electronic devices
that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible
interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigational devices.
Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an
authorized airline representative before using your device aboard an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of
the airline representative whenever using your device aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference
with airborne electronic equipment.
Turn Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your device OFF 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.
