Medical devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including

shielded medical devices’ function. Consult a
physician or the medical device’s manufacturer to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external

implanted medical devices recommend a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15.3 centimeters) between a
wireless device and the medical device. Persons who
have such devices should:

• Always keep the wireless device more than

6 inches (15.3 centimeters) from the medical
device.
• Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Follow the manufacturer directions for the
implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless

device with an implanted medical device, consult
your health care provider.

Hearing

Warning: When you use a headset or

earphones, your ability to hear outside sounds may
be affected. Do not use the headset where it can
endanger your safety.

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen
