Pacemaker
The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum
distance of fifteen (15) centimeters, or six (6) inches, between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference
between them.
These advices are consistent with independent researches, and with
recommendations based on wireless technology research.
People with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the phone at least fifteen centimeters (six inches) from
their pacemaker, whenever the phone is turned on;
•
Not carry the phone in a shirt pocket;
•
Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker, to minimize the potential
interference;
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, we recommend that you contact your service
provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult your device
manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
rF energy. Your doctor can help you obtain this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs
asking you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment
that could be sensitive to external rF energy.
