Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch
off your device in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum separation
of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) should be maintained between a wireless device
and an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the medical device. Persons who
have such devices should:
• Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from
the medical device when the wireless device is turned on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device to minimize
the potential for interference.
• Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
