Electromagnetic Interference/
Compatibility
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 your 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 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 your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it
is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Safety and General
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in the area
where you drive. Always obey them.
When using your phone while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving and to the road.
• use hands-free operation, if available.
• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call
if driving conditions so require.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable phone in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If
a portable phone is placed in the air bag deployment area and
the air bag inflates, the phone may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your phone prior to entering any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, unless the phone is a model specifically
identified as being “Intrinsically Safe.” Do not remove, install, or
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred
to above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
