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 centimetres (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 centimetres (6
inches) from the medical device

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may
interfere with some hearing aids. If
interference occurs, consult your service
provider.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles
such as electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic antiskid (antilock) braking
systems, electronic speed control
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
minimise the potential for
interference.
Turn the wireless device off
immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is
taking place.

from the manufacturer of their
implanted medical device.
