Health and safety information
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the phone more than 15
cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
the phone is switched on
• Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize potential interference
If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch off your
phone immediately.

obtaining this information. Switch off your
phone 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.
