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 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.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15.3 
cm[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. To minimize the potential for interference, persons with 
pacemakers should
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 cm [6 inches] from their pacemaker 
when the device is switched on
• Not carry the device in a breast pocket
• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential 
for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your 
device immediately.
