Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
radio 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.

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.

Persons with pacemakers:

should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from

their pacemaker when the phone is switched on.

should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize

potential interference.

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch your phone off 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.
