Medical Devices - Nokia 6020 User Manual

In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good quality connection to
the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such
a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed
until the transmission is completed.

■ 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.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 in. (15.3 cm) be
maintained between a 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 device more than 6 in. (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when the device
is switched on;
• not carry the device in a breast pocket; and
• hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your device
immediately.
