Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in
close proximity to personal medical devices,
such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 5 cm be maintained
between a mobile phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone
on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and
do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear
implants may experience interfering noises
when using wireless devices or when one is
nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the
type of hearing device and the distance
from the interference source. Increasing
the separation between them may reduce
the interference. You may also consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
