Safety with Medical Devices and Facilities
Pacemaker
If your portable wireless phone is too close to a pacemaker, the phone’s RF energy may
interfere with the pacemaker’s operation. The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
and the wireless technology research community recommend that you follow these
guidelines to minimize the potential for interference:
!
Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters) away from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
!
Do not carry your phone near your heart, such as in a breast pocket.
!
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
!
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 hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to contact your Terminal Administrator.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of the device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to help you obtain this information.
In Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone off in health care facilities, especially if any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that
is sensitive to external RF energy.
Other Unsafe Areas
Warning
!
Turn off your phone while in an airplane.
FCC regulations prohibit using your
phone on a plane.
