Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research. If you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place, switch off your
phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Switch off your phone in health care facilities
when regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
