frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

between a handheld wireless phone and an implantable medical
device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device.

•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their
implantable medical device when the phone is turned ON;
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
•

suspect that interference is taking place.
