Only qualified personnel are allowed to service or repair the device or its accessories. If your device or its accessories were
submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, then do not use the device or its accessories until they have
been checked at an authorized service center.
General Statement on Interference
The precautions listed below must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when
one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the source of interference,
increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer
to discuss alternatives.
Use of LifeWatch V with other Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. Consult the airline staff about
the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must be enabled prior to boarding
an aircraft.
