Operating Environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area,
and always switch your mobile device off whenever it is
forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the mobile device or any accessory to another
device, read its user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do
not connect incompatible products.

Using Your Mobile Device Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from Radio
Frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
mobile device. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Implantable Medical Devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained
between a handheld wireless mobile device and an implantable
medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device.

Persons who have such devices:

•

Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6) inches from

their implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON;

•

Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;

•

Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to

minimize the potential for interference;
