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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers'
Association recommends that a min-
imum separation of six inches (6")
be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommenda-
tions are consistent with the inde-
pendent research by and recommen-
dations 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 poten-
tial for interference;
• should turn the phone OFF imme-
diately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
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 or your hearing aid manu-
facturer to discuss alternatives.
