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
minimise potential interference
If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may wish to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
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 off your phone
in health care facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
