Medical devices
Operation of radio transmi
tting equipment, including
wireless phones, may interfere with the function of
inadequately protected me
dical devices. Consult a
physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine whether they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Switch off your device when
regulations posted instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities ma
y use equipment sensitive to
external RF energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medica
l devices recommend a
minimum separation of 15.3
centimetres (6 inches)
between a wireless device
and an implanted medical
device, such as a pacemake
r 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.
● Not carry the wireless devi
ce in a breast pocket.
● Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the
medical device.
● Turn the wireless device o
ff if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
● Follow the manufactur
er directions for the
implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless
device with an implanted medical device, consult your
health care provider.
