Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless device 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 device more than six (6) inches
from their pacemaker when the device is turned ON;
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference;
• Should turn the tablet OFF immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless device may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to
consult your service provider (or call the customer service line
to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, 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.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may use 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.
Posted Facilities
Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices so
require.
