Health and Safety Information 211

Using Your Mobile Device Near Other Electronic

Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from Radio
Frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless mobile device. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.

Implantable Medical Devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained
between a handheld wireless mobile device and an
implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the device.

Persons who have such devices:

Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6) inches

from their implantable medical device when the mobile device is

turned ON;

Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;

Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to

minimize the potential for interference;

Should turn the mobile device OFF immediately if there is any

reason to suspect that interference is taking place;

Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of

your implantable medical device. If you have any questions about

using your wireless mobile device with an implantable medical

device, consult your health care provider.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information. Switch your
mobile device off 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.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with
the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle
before using your mobile device in a motor vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to your vehicle.
