GLONASS is operated and controlled by the Government of Russia, which is solely responsible
for its availability and accuracy.
GALILEO is operated by the European GNSS Agency (GSA), which is solely responsible for its

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum of 15cm / 6 inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and
recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Guidelines for people with pacemakers:
• You should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm / 6 inches from your pacemaker.
• You should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
