When a carry case, belt clip, or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain
metal and should position the device the above-stated distance from your body.
To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network.
In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is
available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission
is completed.

Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere
with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your device 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.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum separation of 15.3 centimeters
(6 inches) should be maintained 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 when the wireless device is turned on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device to minimize the potential
for interference.
• Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place.
• Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their 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. If interference occurs,
consult your service provider.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems,
electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems. For more information, check with the
manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
