Electronic devices

• If you wear a pacemaker, or are in the company of
someone who does, you should be aware that
there is a small risk of mobile phone usage
interfering with the operation of the pacemaker.
You should contact your doctor, or the
manufacturer of the pacemaker, for more
information. If you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place, switch off your
phone immediately.
• Mobile phone usage may interfere with some
hearing aids. If this happens, you should contact
your service provider or doctor for further

functionality of inadequately shielded medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the device to ensure safe procedures are used.
• Mobile phone usage may interfere with the

system to ensure that the system is properly
shielded.
