should position the device the above-stated distance from

your body.
To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a

quality connection to the network. In some cases,

transmission of data files or messages may be delayed

until such a connection is available. Ensure the above

separation distance instructions are followed until the

transmission is completed.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including

wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of

inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a

physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to

determine if they are adequately shielded from external

RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your

device in health care facilities when any regulations

posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or

health care facilities may be using equipment that could

be sensitive to external RF energy.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a

minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches)

should be maintained between a wireless device and an

implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or

implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential

interference with the medical device. Persons who have

such devices should:

● Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3

centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device when

the wireless device is turned on.

● Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
● Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the

medical device to minimise the potential for

interference.

● Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any

reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

● Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer

of their implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless

device with an implanted medical device, consult your

health care provider.

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.
