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. 
Pacemakers 
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum 
separation of 15 cm 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. 
Medical Devices 
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to 
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the 
operation of your medical device.
