Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
• The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") inches
be maintained between a hand-held 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 phone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the pacemaker is turned on;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to
consult your service provider (or call the customer service line
to discuss alternatives.) Optional for each phone
manufacturer.
