NOTES
Some contact entries contain information from multiple sources: •
information that you added manually, information that Contacts
joined from multiple accounts to consolidate duplicates, and so
on. If you find duplicate entries in Contacts, you can join them
into a single entry, as described in “Joining contacts” on page 89.
If you find that information from unrelated contacts was joined in
error, you can separate them, as described in “Separating contact
information” on page 90.
Changes that you make to the information from one source do •
not affect the information from other sources. For example, if you
have information about a contact from a Google Account and an
Exchange ActiveSync account and both are configured to sync
contacts, edits to the information from the Google Account are
synced to that account on the web, but the information from the
Exchange ActiveSync account remains unchanged.

Safety
Electronic Devices k
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone
must be restricted in certain situations.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between
a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart
pacemaker implant when using your phone. Doing so could result in
interference with the function of the pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers:
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from your •
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.•
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 your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some 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).
