Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six
inches (6") be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should ALWAYS keep the phone more than
six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON
• should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
•
should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference
• should turn the phone OFF immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
