Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum separation of
15.3centimetres (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:
z
Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3centimetres (6 inches)
from the medical device when the wireless device is turned on.
z
Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
z
Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device to
minimize the potential for interference.
z
Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
z
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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems. electronic
