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 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 (6) 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.
Hearing AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives).
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine
if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
