protected medical apparatus. Consult a doctor or the manufacturer of the apparatus to determine if it has
adequate protection against external radio signals, or if you have any question. If notices have been put up
at health care facilities instructing you to turn off the unit while you are there, you should comply. Hospitals
and other health care facilities sometimes use equipment that can be sensitive to external radio signals.
PACEMAKER
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance at least 15 cm. (6 inches) between a mobile phone and a
pacemaker to avoid the risk of interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are in accordance
with independent research and recommendations from Wireless Technology Research. People with
pacemakers should:
always keep the unit at a distance of at least 15 cm from the pacemaker
not carry the unit in a breast pocket
hold the unit against the ear on the opposite side from the pacemaker to reduce the risk of
interference
If you suspect that there is a risk of interference, turn off the unit and move it further away.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless units can cause interference to some hearing aids. Contact yr operator in case of
interference.
