Medical Devices

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15 centimetres) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone 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 Personal Communicator more than six inches (15 centimetres) from their
pacemaker when the Personal Communicator is turned ON.
•
Not carry the Personal Communicator in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
•
Turn the Personal Communicator 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 RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining
this information.
