Using Your Mobile Device Near Other
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 mobile
device. Consult the manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches
should be maintained between a
handheld wireless mobile device and an
implantable medical device, such as a
pacemaker or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the device.
Persons who have such devices:
• Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device
more than six (6) inches from their
implantable medical device when the
mobile device is turned ON;
• Should not carry the mobile device in a
breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the
implantable medical device to minimize the
potential for interference;
