General warnings
The Autophone magnet or MultiTool (which
has a built-in magnet) should be kept
more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) away
from the implant, e.g. do not carry it in
your breast pocket. Follow the guidelines
recommended by the manufacturers of
implantable defibrillators and pacemakers
regarding their use with magnets.
Cochlear implants
If you are using a cochlear implant (CI) on
one ear and a hearing aid on the other ear,
make sure to always keep your CI at least at
a 1 centimetre (0.4 inches) distance from
your hearing aid. The magnetic field from
the CI sound processors, coils, and magnets
may permanently damage the speaker
unit in your hearing aid. Never place the
devices close together on a table e.g. when
cleaning or changing batteries. Do not
carry the CI and the hearing aid together in
the same box.
