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.
