■ 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.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum

separation of 15.3 centimeters (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 by and

recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers should:

• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters

(6 inches) from the pacemaker

• Not carry the device in a breast pocket
