Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including
wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or
the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have
any questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained
between a 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 pacemakers should:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters
(6 inches) from the pacemaker
