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

centimeters (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 centimeters (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 minimize 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.
