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 in
(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
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch off
your device immediately.

interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want
to consult with the manufacturer of
hearing aid.
