Medical Devices
The operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the
medical device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have
any questions. Turn off your device in health care facilities when regulations instruct you to do
so, as hospitals or health care facilities may have equipment 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 you 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 can affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles, such as electronic fuel injection, anti-lock braking, electronic speed control, and
airbag systems. For more information, consult the manufacturer or representative of your
vehicle or any added equipment. Only qualified personnel should service or install the device in
a vehicle. Faulty installation or service can be dangerous and may invalidate the device's
warranty. Regularly check that all wireless equipment in your vehicle is properly mounted and
functioning. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories. For vehicles equipped with airbags,
remember that airbags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or
portable wireless equipment, over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. Improper
installation of in-vehicle wireless equipment can cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
Using your device while flying in an aircraft is prohibited. Turn off your device before boarding,
as the use of wireless devices in an aircraft may be dangerous to its operation, disrupt the
wireless network, and may be illegal.
