Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6")
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 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
• should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have
any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones 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 external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.
