FOR YOUR SAFETY
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a mobile
device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the device on the opposite ear to
your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device
and the distance from the interference source, increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference. You may
also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your device may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Power off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics, or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Aircraft
Power off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do
so by airport or airline staff.
Device Heating
Your device may become warm during charging and during
normal use.

the vehicle electrical system.
