Pacemakers and Other Medical
Devices
Studies have shown that there may
be a potential interaction between
mobile devices and normal pacemaker
operation. The pacemaker industry
recommends that people with
pacemakers follow these guidelines to
minimize any risk of interference with
pacemaker operation:
Always maintain a distance of
6 inches (15 cm) between the
pacemaker and any mobile device
that is turned on.
Store the device on the opposite
side of the pacemaker. Do not carry
the device in a breast pocket.
Use the ear furthest from the
pacemaker in order to minimize any
potential for interference.
If you think that interference may
be occurring, turn off the device
immediately.

For other medical devices, consult with
your physician or the manufacturer to
determine if your mobile device may
interfere with the medical device, and
to determine any precautions that you
can take to avoid interference.
radio Frequency Exposure
This device is a mobile transmitter
and receiver that uses its antenna to
send and receive low levels of radio
frequency (RF) energy for voice and
data communications. The device
emits RF energy below the published
limits when operating in its maximum
output power mode and when used
with Garmin authorized accessories.
To comply with ICNIRP RF exposure
compliance requirements, the device
should be used in its automobile
mount or as a handheld device only.
The device should not be used in other
configurations.
