ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone. Therefore, use of your phone must be restricted in
certain situations.
PACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld 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.
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart pacemaker
implant when using your phone. Doing so could result in interference with
the function of the pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers :
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when
the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn
your phone OFF immediately.
