product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.
•
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
•
Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
