Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic
equipment is shielded from RF
signals.
However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry
Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum
separation of six (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 six inches
from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON;
•
Should not carry the phone in
a breast pocket.
•
Should use the ear opposite
the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
•
If you have any reason to
suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone
OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones
may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to
consult your service provider.
