■ 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 inches) should be maintained
between a wireless device and an implanted medical device, such
as a (cardiac) pacemaker, implanted cardioverter defibrillator,
implanted cochlea (bionic ear), etc., 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 when the wireless device is
turned on.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
