If your phone or its accessory has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a
severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to be checked at an authorized service
centre.
Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be
maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and
do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when
using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the
interference source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference.
You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of
your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care
facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
