Medical devices

Pacemakers—The PTV should be kept at least six (6) inches away from the pacemaker to reduce risk.

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the wireless technology research community recommend that you follow these guidelines to minimize the potential for interference.

• Always keep the PTV at least six inches (15 centimeters) away from your pacemaker when the device is turned on.
• Do not carry your device near your heart.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your device immediately.

Hearing aids—Some digital wireless devices may interfere with hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

Other medical devices—If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of the device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to help you obtain this information.

In health care facilities—Turn your device off in health care facilities when instructed. Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Potentially unsafe areas

Posted facilities—Turn your device off in any facility when posted notices require you to do so.

Potentially explosive atmospheres—Turn off your device when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

• Fueling areas such as gas stations
• Below deck on boats
• Transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
• Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane
• Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders
• Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine

Use with care

Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on the PTV.

Keep device dry

If the PTV gets wet, turn the power off immediately and contact your dealer. Water damage may not be covered under warranty.
