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 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 phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Turn 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.
Aircraft
Turn 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 onboard
