Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between
a 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 do the
following:
• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches)
from the pacemaker
• Not carry the device in a breast pocket
• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
• If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move the
device away.
