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 inch) 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 inch) 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.
