IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 communicator.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation
of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a hand-held 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 20 cm (6 inches) 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 minimise the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your communicator 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 communicators, 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 the phone of your communicator in health care
