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
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection, electronic antilock braking, electronic
speed control, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer
of your vehicle or its equipment.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate your warranty. Check
regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating
properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories. Remember that air bags inflate
with great force. Do not place your device or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Switch off your device before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an
aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all
posted instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or death. Switch off the device at refueling points such as near gas pumps
at service stations. Observe restrictions in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas;
chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include areas
where you would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine, below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities and where the air contains chemicals or particles
such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the manufacturers of
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to determine if this
device can be safely used in their vicinity.
