ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a handheld 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.
If you have a pacemaker:
l ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
l Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
l Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
l If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider (or call the custome
