Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices 
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) 
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded 
against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Consult the 

manufacturer to discuss alternatives. 
Pacemakers 
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm 
(6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to 

avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. 
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research 

and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. 
Persons with pacemakers: 

should always keep the phone more than 15 cm   
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is switched on. 

should not carry the phone in a breast pocket. 

should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential 
interference. 

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch 

your phone off immediately. 
Hearing Aids 
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the 
event of such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid 

manufacturer to discuss alternatives. 
Other Medical Devices 
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturer 
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF 
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this 
information. Switch your phone off 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. 
Vehicles 
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded 
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its 
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the 

manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
