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 debrillators
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 eld 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.
