international accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body defined
in the standards for human health
and coexistence with active medical
implants, such as pacemakers and heart
defibrillators.
If you have an active brain implant, contact
the manufacturer of your implantable
device for information about the risk of
disturbance.
The Autophone magnet and MultiTool
(which has a built-in magnet) should be
kept more than 30 centimetres (1 foot)
away from the implant, e.g. do not carry it
in your breast pocket.
Follow the guidelines recommended by the
manufacturers of implantable defibrillators
and pacemakers regarding their use with
magnets.
Cochlear implants
If you are using a cochlear implant (CI) on
one ear and a hearing aid on the other ear,
make sure to always keep your CI at least at
a 1 centimetre (0.4 inches) distance from
your hearing aid. The magnetic field from
CI sound processors, coils and magnets
may permanently damage the speaker
unit in your hearing aid. Never place the
devices close together on a table e.g. when
cleaning or changing batteries. Do not
carry the CI and the hearing aid together in
the same box.
X-ray/CT/MR/PET scanning,
electrotherapy and surgery
Remove your hearing aid before X-ray
examinations and CT/MR/PET scans,
electrotherapy, surgery, etc. as your
hearing aid may be damaged when
exposed to strong electromagnetic fields.
