Getting Started Guide 7
For Vehicles Equipped With An Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects,
including both installed or portable wireless equipment, such as the
BlackBerry Wireless Handheld, in the area over the air bag or in the
air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could
result.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless handheld.
Pacemakers
Consult a physician or the manufacturer of your pacemaker if you
have any questions regarding the effect of RF signals on your
pacemaker. If you have a pacemaker, ensure that you are using the
handheld in accordance with the safety requirements associated
with your particular pacemaker, which may include the following:
• Always keep the handheld more than 20 cm (six inches) from
the pacemaker when the handheld is turned ON;
• Do not carry the handheld in a breast pocket;
• If the handheld has a voice option, use the ear opposite the
pacemaker for making and receiving calls to minimize the
potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your handheld radio OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, consult your service provider or
contact the manufacturer of your hearing aid to discuss alternatives.
