Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
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 minimize
potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, switch your phone off 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.
