Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of
15cm (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
15cm (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 your phone
OFF immediately.
