Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere
with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician
or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off your device in health
care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum separation of
15.3 centimeters (6 inches) should be maintained between a wireless device and an
implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator
to avoid potential interference with the medical device. Persons who have such
devices should:
• Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the
medical device when the wireless device is turned on
• Do not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device to minimize the
potential for interference.
• Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
• Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their implanted
medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical
device, consult your health care provider.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference
occurs, consult your service provider.
