Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using your phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to
determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (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 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.
