Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6
inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and
recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when
the radio is turned ON.
• not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
Hearing Aids
Some wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
