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

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 call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives).
• Always keep the phone more than six
inches from your pacemaker when the
phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• 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.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare
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.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so
require.
