• Pull off the road and park before

making or answering a call, if

driving conditions so require.

For vehicles equipped with

Air Bags

An air bag inflates with great force.

DO NOT place objects, including

either installed or portable wireless

equipment, in the area over the air

bag or in the air bag deployment

area. If in-vehicle wireless equip-

ment is improperly installed and the

air bag inflates, serious injury could

result.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment

is shielded from radiofrequency (RF)

signals. However, certain electronic

equipment may not be shielded

against the RF signals from your

wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturer’s

Association recommends that a min-

imum separation of six inches (6”)

be maintained between a handheld

wireless phone and a pacemaker to

avoid potential interference with the

pacemaker. These recommenda-

tions are consistent with the inde-

pendent research by and recommen-

dations of Wireless Technology

Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• should ALWAYS keep the phone

more than six inches from their

pacemaker when the phone is

turned ON;

• should not carry the phone in a

breast pocket;

• should use the ear opposite the

pacemaker to minimize the poten-

tial for interference;

• should turn the phone OFF imme-

diately if there is 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 service

provider or your hearing aid manu-

facturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medi-

cal devices, consult the manufactur-

ers of your devices to determine if

they are adequately shielded from

external RF energy. Your physician

may be able to assist you in obtain-

ing this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care

facilities when any regulations post-

ed 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.
