Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3

centimetres (6 inches) between a wireless device and an implanted medical device,

such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential

interference with the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
● Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) from the

medical device.

● Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
● Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
● Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is

taking place.

● Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted

medical device, consult your health care provider.

Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic

systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection, electronic antilock

braking, electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more information, check

with the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install the device in a vehicle.

Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate your warranty.

Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and

operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive

materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories.

Remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place your device or

accessories in the air bag deployment area.
