Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15 cm
(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.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned ON.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should 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 the phone OFF immediately.

you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss
