Safety information
Safe environments of use
WARNING –
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted and
can include fueling areas, such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain dust, or metal
powders. When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile device, and do not remove or install
battery chargers, AC adapters, or any other accessory. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an
explosion or fire.
Distraction
WARNING –
Using the device in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a
dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices (for example,
avoid operating the device while driving a vehicle).
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA)
Hearing Aids:
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives.
Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices:
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with
pacemakers should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If
you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Turn the phone OFF 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.
