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.
