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.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15.3 cm) be
maintained between a 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 device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when the
device is switched on;
• not carry the device in a breast pocket; and
• hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your device
immediately.
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 antiskid (antilock)
braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bag systems. For more information,
check with the manufacturer or its representative of your vehicle or any equipment that has
been added.
