MEDICAL DEVICES
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association
recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld
wireless Personal Interactive Communicator and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of, the
United States Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the Personal Interactive Communicator
more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their
pacemaker when the Personal Interactive Communicator
is turned ON.
• not carry the Personal Interactive Communicator in the
breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.

• turn the Personal Interactive Communicator OFF
immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless Personal Interactive Communicators
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 RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
