dioverter defibrillators should stay
22 cm or more away from the
vehicle when opening or closing a
door. Also, they should refrain
from leaning on the vehicle or
looking through the windows from
outside when a door is opened or
closed.
Users of any electrical medical
device other than i mplantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac resyn-
chronization therapy-pacemakers
or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should consult their
doctor or the manufacturer of the
device for information about its
operation under the influence of
radio waves.
