A d d i t i o n a l s a f e t y i n f o r m a t i o n112PacemakersPacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and apacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Theserecommendations are consistent with the independent research by andrecommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons withpacemakers should:• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from thepacemaker;• Not carry the device in a breast pocket; and• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potentialfor interference.If you suspect interference, switch off your device and move the device away.Hearing aidsSome digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interferenceoccurs, consult your service provider.■ VehiclesRF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronicsystems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronicantiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air bagsystems. For more information, check with the manufacturer or its representativeof your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in avehicle.

For vehicles equipped with an air bag,remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, includinginstalled or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the airbag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed andthe air bag inflates, serious injury could result.Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your devicebefore boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may bedangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephonenetwork, and may be illegal.
