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.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15.3 cm) be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. To
minimize the potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should
• Always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when
the device is switched on

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your
device immediately.
