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 cordless telephones and implanted
cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

• Should keep cordless telephones at least six inches from
the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place cordless telephones directly over the
pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the cordless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR's evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with
pacemakers from other persons using cordless telephones.
