• Always keep the wireless device
more than 15.3 centimeters (6
inches) from the medical device
when the wireless device is turned
on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a
breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear
opposite the medical device to
minimize the potential for
interference.
• Turn the wireless device o
immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
• Read and follow the directions from
the manufacturer of their implanted
medical device.
If have any questions about using
your wireless device with an
implanted medical device, consult
your health care provider.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your
service provider.
Hearing aid compatibility
Your mobile device model complies
with FCC rules governing hearing aid
compatibility. These rules require an
M3 microphone or higher value. The
M-value, shown on the device box,
refers to lower radio frequency (RF)
emissions. A higher M-value
generally indicates that a device
model has a lower RF emissions
level, which may improve the
likelihood that the device will operate
with certain hearing aids. Some
hearing aids are more immune
than others to interference. Please
consult your hearing health
professional to determine the
M-rating of your hearing aid and
whether your hearing aid will work
with this device.

Additional safety information
This device includes a setting for
direct connection to telecoil
equipped hearing aids. When both
the telecoil hearing aid (T switch)
and the phone telecoil are activated,
using the device with the aided ear
will provide a direct connection for
audio through your hearing aid. The
quality of sound depends on the type
of hearing aid used. You should test
the device with the telecoil setting
activated to determine whether your
audio performance improves. Using
the telecoil hearing-aid setting
consumes additional battery power.

equipment in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment
area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, serious injury could result.
