Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a 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.
If you have a pacemaker:
• Always keep your device more than six inches (15cm) from your pacemaker
when turned on.
• Do not carry your device in your breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your
device off immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, call ASUS Customer Service 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 external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your device off in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
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 added to your vehicle.
