Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless device.

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:

• Should always keep the device more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the device is switched on
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your device immediately

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.

Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular devices, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities when 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.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, air-bag systems). Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted facilities
Switch your device off in any facility where posted notices so require.

NOTE

Switch Off!

For safety reasons, the Nokia 6810 device should be switched off anywhere there is a sign, including:
...hospitals
...aircraft
...when refuelling
...near blasting
