Safety and General Information 

Electromagnetic Interference/

Compatibility

Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to 

electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, 

designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic 

compatibility.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility 

conflicts, turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices 

instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be 

using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your phone when on board an 

aircraft. Any use of a phone must be in accordance with 

applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that 

a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be 

maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a 

pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the 

independent research by, and recommendations of, the United 

States Food and Drug Administration.
