Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the device in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a mobile
device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the device 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 device may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Loud Noise
This device is capable of producing loud noises, which may
damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using
headphones, Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio devices.
Device Heating
Your device may become warm during charging and during

Electrical Safety

Connection to a Car

the vehicle electrical system.
