Using Your Mobile Device Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from Radio Frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the
RF signals from your wireless mobile device. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.

Implantable Medical Devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a
handheld wireless mobile device and an implantable medical device, such as a
pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the device.
Persons who have such devices:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6) inches from their implantable
medical device when the mobile device is turned ON;
•
Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;
•
Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential
for interference;
•
Should turn the mobile device OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place;
•
Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable
medical device. If you have any questions about using your wireless mobile device with
an implantable medical device, consult your health care provider.
