Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a
wireless phone and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with
the device. Persons who have such devices:
• Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than six (6) inches from
their implantable medical device when the wireless phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize
the potential for interference;
• Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place; and
• Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your
implantable medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a
device, consult your health care provider.

Drive responsibly
• If you choose to talk while driving, always use a hands-free device. Make
sure your hands-free device is on and working before driving.
• Do not dial or look up phone numbers when driving. Use the voice-
activated feature on your wireless device.
• Using a wireless device while driving may increase your risk of
distraction, whether or not you use a hands-free device. To eliminate this
pg
risk, consider turning your wireless device off and allowing calls to go to
