Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch
off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets RF
exposure guidelines when used normally. To successfully transmit data files or
messages, this device requires a good quality connection to the network. In some
cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a
connection is available. Ensure that the above separation distance instructions are
followed until the transmission is completed. Parts of the device are magnetic.
Metallic materials may be attracted to the device, and persons with hearing aids
should not hold the device to the ear with the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards
or other magnetic storage media near the device, because information stored on
them may be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, 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 your device 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 transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between wireless devices 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 do the following:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the
pacemaker
• Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is switched on.
If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move it.
Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your service provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-
skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer, or its representative, of
your vehicle or any equipment that has been added. Only qualified personnel should
service the device, or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may
be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply to the device. Check
regularly that all wireless equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating
properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the device, its parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped
with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects,
