Other Safety Guidelines
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
Pacemakers. The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a minimum separa-
tion of six (6") inches be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the indepen-
dent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. 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.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interfer-
ence is taking place, turn your 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.)
Other Medical Devices. If you use any other
personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
