Medical devices
Ensure that you switch OFF your phone in areas, near electronic medical equipment, that obviously require the phone to be switched
OFF such as heart pacemakers, hearing aids, etc. Most medical devices can shield the phone’s RF signal, but some cannot. If you have any
doubts, or need to find out more, please consult your doctor or medical device manufacturer.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers advise the distance between your phone and heart pacemaker should be 6 inches (15.3 cm) at least,
otherwise the phone could interfere with the pacemaker.
People fitted with a pacemaker should note the following:
•
Always keep a distance (at least 6 inches) between the phone and the pacemaker, when the phone is switched ON.
•
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket
•
Listen to the phone using the ear which is furthest away from the pacemaker.
Caution: Please switch OFF your phone if you feel there is interference, and consult a doctor as soon as you can.
Hearing Aids
Mobile phones may cause some interference with some hearing aids. If so, please consult your hearing aid manufacturer.
