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 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.
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.
Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing hearing aid compatibility. These require a M3 microphone or
higher value. Your device M-value is shown on the box. A higher M-value generally indicates that a device model has a lower
RF emissions level, which may improve the likelihood that the device will operate with certain hearing aids. Some hearing aids
are more immune than others to interference. Please consult your hearing health professional to determine whether your
hearing aid will work with this device. More information on accessibility can be found at
