Electronic devices:
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers:
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend
that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6
inches) be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should always keep the phone more
than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched
on.
Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimise the potential
for interference.
