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.
Persons with pacemakers:
v
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned
ON;
v
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
v
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
v
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.
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.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to
do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
