Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6 inches) be 
maintained between a handheld 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 phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when 
the phone is switched on;
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone 
immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such 
interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
Other medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including cellular 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 phone 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.
