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 centimeters (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 centimeters (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 minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
