Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity
to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to
determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with
the operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the
phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not
carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source.
Increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
