Precautions for users of
implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to
digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC
(WTR), an independent research entity,
led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the
interference between portable wireless
telephones and implanted cardiac
pacemakers. Supported by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, WTR
recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
•
Should keep wireless telephones at
least six inches from the pacemaker.
•
Should NOT place wireless telephones
directly over the pacemaker, such as in
a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
•
Should use the wireless telephone at
the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR's evaluation did not identify any
risk to bystanders with pacemakers from
other persons using wireless telephones.
About cordless telephones
•
Privacy: The same features
that make a cordless telephone
convenient create some limitations.
Telephone calls are transmitted
between the telephone base and the
cordless handset by radio waves, so
there is a possibility that the cordless
telephone conversations could
be intercepted by radio receiving
equipment within range of the
cordless handset. For this reason, you
should not think of cordless telephone
conversations as being as private as
those on corded telephones.
•
Electrical power: The telephone
base of this cordless telephone must
be connected to a working electrical
outlet. The electrical outlet should not
be controlled by a wall switch. Calls
cannot be made from the cordless
handset if the telephone base is
unplugged, switched off or if the
electrical power is interrupted.
•
Potential TV interference: Some
cordless telephones operate
at frequencies that may cause
interference to televisions and
VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, do not place
the telephone base of the cordless
telephone near or on top of a TV or
VCR. If interference is experienced,
moving the cordless telephone farther
away from the TV or VCR often
reduces or eliminates the interference.
•
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise
care in handling batteries in order not
to create a short circuit with conducting
material such as rings, bracelets and
keys. The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause harm. Observe
proper polarity between the battery
and the battery charger.
•
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries: Dispose of these batteries
in a safe manner. Do not burn or
puncture the battery. Like other
batteries of this type, if burned or
punctured, they could release caustic
material which could cause injury.
