Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the phone more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•
NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
•
Turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
