Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend
that a minimum separation of
15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be
maintained between a 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. 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 in a breast
pocket.
• Hold the device to the ear opposite
the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
If you suspect interference, switch off
your device, and move the device away.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids.
If interference occurs, consult your
service provider.
■ Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles such
as electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic antiskid (antilock) braking
systems, electronic speed control
systems, and air bag systems. For more
information, check with the
manufacturer, or its representative, of
your vehicle or any equipment that has
been added.
Only qualified personnel should service
the device, or install the device in a
vehicle. Faulty installation or service may
be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty that may apply to the device.
Check regularly that all wireless device
equipment in your vehicle is mounted
and operating properly. Do not store or
carry flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive materials in the same
compartment as the device, its parts, or
enhancements. For vehicles equipped
with an air bag, remember that air bags
inflate with great force. Do not place
objects, including installed or portable
wireless equipment in the area over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed, and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
Using your device while flying in aircraft
is prohibited. Switch off your device
before boarding an aircraft. The use of
wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone
network, and may be illegal.
■ Potentially explosive
environments
Switch off your device when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
include areas where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle
