Pacemakers—
If your portable wireless phone is too close to a pacemaker,
the phone’s RF energy may interfere with the pacemaker’s operation. The
Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the wireless technology
research community recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
• Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters) away from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off
your phone immediately.
Hearing aids—
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
service provider or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
