Safety Guidelines
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6")
inches 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.
If you have any reason to suspect

that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
