Medical Devices

• Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology
Association (AdvaMed) 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 those of the U. S. Food and Drug
Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6
inches (15 centimeters) from their pace-
maker 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 interfer-
ence is taking place.
• Hearing Aids
Some digital 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.

Driver Safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of
radios in the area where you drive. Always
obey them.
When using your radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
