Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including 
wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of 
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or 
the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they 
are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have 
any questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities 
when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do 
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment 
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum 
separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained 
between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential 
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are 
consistent with the independent research by and 
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons 
with pacemakers should:
Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters 
(6 inches) from the pacemaker
