Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless
phones, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected
medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your phone in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15.3 cm) be maintained between a 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. To minimize the
potential for interference, persons with pacemakers should
•
Always keep the device more than 6 inches (15.3 cm) from their
pacemaker when the device is switched on
•
Not carry the device in a breast pocket
•
Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch
off your device immediately.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your service provider.
