Medical Devices - Nokia 2605 Manual

■ 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 centimeters (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 centimeters (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
minimize 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.
Warning: For hearing aid compatibility, you must turn off the
Bluetooth connectivity.
