Medical Devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with
the function of inadequately shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or the medical
device's manufacturer to determine if it is adequately shielded from external radio energy.
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices recommend a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15.3 centimeters) between a wireless device and the
medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
• Always keep the wireless device more than 6 inches (15.3 centimeters) from the
medical device.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
• Follow the manufacturer 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.
