Medical devices
Pacemakers—If your portable wireless phone is too close to a pacemaker, the phone’s RF
energy may interfere with the pacemaker’s operation. The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association and the wireless technology research community recommend that you follow
these guidelines to minimize the potential for interference.
• Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters) away from your pacemaker
when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your phone
immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may interfere with 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 the device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to help you obtain this information.
In health care facilities—Turn your phone off in health care facilities when instructed.
Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
Avoiding potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility when posted notices require you to
do so.
Aircraft—FCC regulations prohibit using your phone on a plane that is in the air. Turn your
phone off before boarding aircraft.
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.
