Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere
with the operation of your medical device.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the
opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless
devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives. For more information, please refer to “Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid
Device” on page 107.
Medical Equipment
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These
requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft and enable the airplane mode of
your phone when boarding an aircraft.
