personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a mobile device and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To
achieve this, use the device 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 will depend on the type of 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 Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your device may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Power off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics, or health care facilities. These requests are designed to
prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
