Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on

the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it
in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants
may experience interfering noises when using wireless
devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference
will depend on the type of hearing device and the
distance from the interference source. Increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference.
You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer
to determine if operation of your phone may interfere
with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Turn off your wireless device when requested to do
so in hospitals, clinics or health-care facilities. These
requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever you are
instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. Consult the
airline staff about the use of wireless devices onboard
the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
