HTC s620 User Manual

Appendix  159

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a 

minimum separation of six 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 six inches from their 

pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

  Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

  Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential 

for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is 

taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the 

event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, 

or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer 

of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external 

RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this 

information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted 

in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be 

using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

  Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel 

frame of a building).

  Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as 

microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

  Avoid using your phone after a dramatic change in temperature.
