Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 centimetres) be maintained
between a mobile phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:

turned ON.
• NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the
potential for interference.
• Turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital mobile phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to
consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your GP may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.

When using your phone while driving, please:
