Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting
equipment, including wireless
devices, 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 o 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 energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices
recommend that a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimeters
(6 inches) should be maintained
between a wireless device and an
implanted medical device, such as a
pacemaker or implanted cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the medical device.
Persons who have such devices
should:
• Always keep the wireless device
more than 15.3 centimeters
(6 inches) from the medical device
when the wireless device is turned
on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a
breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear
opposite the medical device to
minimize the potential for
interference.
• Turn the wireless device o
immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
• Read and follow the directions from
the manufacturer of their implanted
medical device.

your wireless device with an
implanted medical device, consult
your health care provider.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your
service provider.
Hearing aid compatibility
Your mobile device model complies
with FCC rules governing hearing aid
compatibility. These rules require an
M3 microphone or higher value. The
M-value, shown on the device box,
refers to lower radio frequency (RF)
emissions. A higher M-value
generally indicates that a device
model has a lower RF emissions
level, which may improve the
likelihood that the device will operate
with certain hearing aids. Some
hearing aids are more immune than
others to interference. Please consult
your hearing health professional to
determine the M-rating of your
hearing aid and whether your hearing
aid will work with this device.
This device includes a setting for
direct connection to telecoil
equipped hearing aids. When both
the telecoil hearing aid (T switch)
and the phone telecoil are activated,
using the device with the aided ear
will provide a direct connection for
audio through your hearing aid. The
quality of sound depends on the type
of hearing aid used. You should test
the device with the telecoil setting
activated to determine whether your
audio performance improves. Using
the telecoil hearing-aid setting
consumes additional battery power.
