Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six inches be maintained be-
tween a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recom-
mendations are consistent with the independent research
by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six
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 your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hear-
ing 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 ad-
equately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
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 be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
