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 manufactures directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted
medical device, consult your health care provider.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
This device includes a setting for direct connection to telecoil-equipped hearing
aids. When both the telecoil hearing aid (T switch) and the phone telecoil are
activated, using the device with the aided ear will provide a direct connection for
audio through your hearing aid. The quality of sound depends on the type of
hearing aid used. You should test the device with the telecoil setting activated to
determine whether your audio performance improves. Using the telecoil hearing-
aid setting consumes additional battery power.
