operation of the phone could interfere with the operation of the
medical device.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend maintaining a minimum
separation of 15 cm 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 depends on the type of hearing device
and the distance from the interference source, increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference. Consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Equipment
Switch off the wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics, or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off the wireless device when instructed to do so by
airport or airline staff.
