Handheld User Guide 11
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 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.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your handheld 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.
