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

minimise potential interference

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