Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a hand-held 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.
Persons with pacemakers:

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the pacemaker is turned on;

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

Should 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 phone OFF immediately.

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your service provider (or call the customer service line to
discuss alternatives.) Optional for each phone manufacturer.

Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
