Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
service provider or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of the device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
help you obtain this information.
In health care facilities
Turn your phone off in health care facilities, especially if 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.
Other unsafe areas

prohibit using your phone on a plane that is in the air.
