ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the
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 handheld 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:
•
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
•
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•
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.
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 healthcare facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Posted facilities
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
