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.

Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device.

Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device, because

information stored on them may be erased.

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.
