15 Safety information

This section contains important information about the operation of your device. It also contains information about how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully before using your device.

Electronic device

Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited. Do not use the device if doing so causes danger or interference with other electronic devices.

Interference with medical equipment

• Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do not use your device where prohibited.
• Some wireless devices may affect the performance of hearing aids or pacemakers. Consult your service provider for more information.
