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.
