Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including
wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician
or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if
they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if
you have any questions. Switch off your device 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.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a
minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) should
be maintained between a wireless device and an implanted
medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted
cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference
with the medical device. Persons who have such devices
should:
● Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3
centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device when the
wireless device is turned on.
● Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
● Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical
device to minimise the potential for interference.

● Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
● Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of
their implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device
with an implanted medical device, consult your health care
provider.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some
hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as
electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid
(antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems,
and air bag systems. For more information, check with the
manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any
equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install
the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be
dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply
to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device
equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating
properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the device,
its parts, or accessories. For vehicles equipped with an air
