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.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a

minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) should

be maintained between a wireless device and an implanted

medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted

cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference

with the medical device. Persons who have such devices

should:
● Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3

centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device when the

wireless device is turned on.

● Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
● Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical

device to minimise the potential for interference.

● Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any

reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

● Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of

their implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device

with an implanted medical device, consult your health care

provider.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some

hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service

provider.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately

shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as

electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid

(antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems,

and air bag systems. For more information, check with the

manufacturer, or its representative, of your vehicle or any

equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install

the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be

dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply

to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device

equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating

properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or

explosive materials in the same compartment as the device,

its parts, or accessories. For vehicles equipped with an air
