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.
● Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their implanted medical
device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted
medical device, consult your health care provider.
