Safety and General Information
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an aircraft. Any use of
a phone must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the phone and Bluetooth phone module more than six inches (15
centimeters) from your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•NOT carry the phone and Bluetooth phone module in the breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult with your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
