device is turned on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Turn the wireless device o immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer
of their implanted medical device.
3Important

representative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has
been added.
Only qualied personnel should service the device
or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or
service may be dangerous and may invalidate any
warranty that may apply to the device.
