Safety
k Electronic Devices
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in
certain situations.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6) inches
be maintained between a handheld 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.
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a
heart pacemaker implant when using your phone. Doing
so could result in interference with the function of the
pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
