Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics, or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent
research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker
when turned ON.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your
device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the
operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
