Using Your Phone Near Other
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 minimize potential
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch your phone off immediately.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult the manufacturer of your device to determine
if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining
this information. Switch your phone off in health care
