ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COM-
PATIBILITY
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed
or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
FACILITIES
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts,
turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
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 Advanced Medical Technology 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, the United States Food and Drug
Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters)
from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• not carry the phone in the breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• turn the phone OFF 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 your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
