8.3.1 Cardiac pacemaker
The following instructions apply to persons fitted with a cardiac pacemaker:
• When the mobile phone unit is switched-on, ensure that a minimum distance
of 20 cm between the mobile- phone unit and the Pacemaker is maintained.
• In order to help guarantee this distance, it is recommended that the mobile
phone unit is not kept in a breast pocket.
• To minimise interference we recommend that the ear furthest away from the
Pacemaker is used when using the mobile phone unit.
• Furthermore, we recommend that should you suspect that damage to the
Pacemaker has been caused, you should switch the mobile phone unit off
immediately. In order to guarantee the correct functioning of your
Pacemaker, you should seek medical advice.
8.3.2 Hearing aid
In case of malfunctioning of certain types of hearing aid, please refer the pro-
blem to your local service provider.
8.3.3 Other medical equipment
As with other electronic equipment, your mobile phone can interfere with
inadequately screened medical equipment. Should you need information on
the screening needed to protect an item of medical equipment against exter-
nal RF signals, please contact the doctor responsible or the manufacturer of
the equipment. In general, to avoid malfunctioning, you should switch your
mobile phone off in all health institutions where this is specifically requested
by signs, labels or regulations.
