determine if the operation of your phone may
interfere with the operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be
maintained 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 will depend on the type
of hearing device and the distance from the
interference source. Increasing the separation
between them may reduce the interference. You
may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer
to discuss alternatives.
Medical Equipment
Turn off your wireless device when you are
requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or
healthcare facilities. These requests are designed
to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
