Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be
maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering
noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference depends on the type of the hearing device and the distance
from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may
reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Medical equipment
Switch off your wireless device when you are requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or
airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft and
enable flight mode of your phone when boarding an aircraft.
