medical device, radio waves might affect these units and
devices. So, please observe the following.
1. Those with an implanted pacemaker or implanted
cardioverter-defibrillator should carry or use the product
at least 15 cm away from where the implant is.
2. Change to Airplane mode on the product beforehand or
turn the product off before entering a place where it may
not be possible to maintain a distance of 15 cm, such as
where movement is restricted, since there may be
people with a cardiac pacemaker or implanted
