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.
