Regulations and safety information
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
radio product in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Medical devices
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless
radio product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.
Hearing aids: Some digital wireless radio products may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Use while driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio products in the area where you
drive. Always obey them. When using the radio product while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use handsfree operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
WARNING
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6
inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the
radio product is turned ON.
• NOT carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
• Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
