Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers
and hearing aids. Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to determine if the operation of your
phone may interfere with the operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on
the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless
devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance
from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also
consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Equipment
Turn off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or healthcare facilities. These requests
are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. Consult the airline
staff about the use of wireless devices onboard the aircraft. If your device offers airplane mode, this must be
enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference with electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as
your phone or other radio equipment. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way
radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
