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
