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 phone.
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.
