To send data files or messages requires a quality connection to the network. Data

files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Follow the

separation distance instructions 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.
During extended operation such as an active high speed data connection, the device

may feel warm. In most cases, this condition is normal. If you suspect the device is

not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service facility.

Medical devices

Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may

interfere with the function of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a

physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are

adequately shielded from external RF energy. Switch off your device when

regulations posted instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use

equipment sensitive to external RF energy.

Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3

centimeters (6 inches) 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 centimeters (6 inches) from the

medical device.

● Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
● Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
● Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place.

● Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
