circuits in iPhone may cause interference in other electronic equipment. Therefore, please take the following precautions: Aircraft Use of iPhone may be prohibited while traveling in aircraft. For more information about using Airplane Mode to turn off the iPhone wireless transmitters, see the iPhone User Guide. Vehicles Radio frequency emissions from iPhone may affect electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers: ÂÂ Should always keep iPhone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from the pacemaker when the phone is turned on ÂÂ Should not carry iPhone in a breast pocket ÂÂ 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, turn iPhone off immediately. Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) iPhone has been tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2007 hearing aid compatibility standard. The ANSI standard measures radio frequency interference for acoustic coupling ("M" rating) and inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode ("T" rating). Phones must be rated M3 or greater and T3 or greater to be hearing aid compatible under FCC rules. For more information, see the "Hearing Aid Compatibility" section of the iPhone User Guide. For current iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, go to: www.apple.com/support/hac iPhone may interfere with some hearing aids. If you experience interference, consult the hearing aid manufacturer or your physician for alternatives or remedies. Compatibility With Other Wireless Technologies This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the device manufacturer or your physician to determine if it is adequately shielded from radio frequency emissions from iPhone. Health Care Facilities Hospitals and health care facilities may use equipment that is particularly sensitive to external radio frequency emissions. Turn iPhone off when staff or posted signs instruct you to do so.
