SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety Warnings

Radio Frequency (RF) Safety

Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations

regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.

■ Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is

inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.

■ Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of

radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow

restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.

■ Do not place the antenna outdoors.

■ Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may

endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction

may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

■ Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle

with fuel.

■ Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.

Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices

Potential interference

Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic

interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac

pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the

Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that

cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.

The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference

occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Precautions for pacemaker wearers

If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:

■ Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.

■ Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.

■ Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.

Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.

However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause

a problem.

■ Keep the device on the opposite the side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance

between the pacemaker and the device.

■ Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt

or jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).
