Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using your phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids. Please consult your
doctor and the device manufacturers to 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 of you wireless device when you are requested
to do so in hospital, clinics or healthcare facilities.
These requests are designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical equipment.
