Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care 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 (6 in.) 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 interference source. Increasing 
the separation between them may reduce the interference.  
You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to  
discuss alternatives.
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
Power o 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.
•   Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign 
objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other 
liquids, expose to re, explosion or other hazard.
•   Only use the battery for the system for which it is specied.
•   Only use the battery with a charging system that has been 
qualied with the system per CTIA Certication Requirements 
for Battery System Compliance to IEEE 1725. Use of an 
unqualied battery or charger may present a risk of re, 
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
•   
Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive 
objects to contact battery terminals.
•   Replace the battery only with another battery that has been 
qualied with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. Use 
of an unqualied battery may present a risk of re, explosion, 
leakage, or other hazard.
•   Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with  
local regulations.
•   Battery usage by children should be supervised.
•   Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery 
is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects 
damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
•   Improper battery use may result in a re, explosion or  
other hazard.
•   The phone shall only be connected to CTIA certied adapters, 
products that bear the USB-IF logo, or products that have 
completed the USB-IF compliance program.
