■ Medical devices
Operation of any radiotransmitting 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 6 in. (15.3 cm) 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 6 in. (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when the device 
is switched on;
not carry the device in a breast pocket; and 
hold the device to 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 device 
immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs, 
consult your service provider.
