Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches)
be maintained between a 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 device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the pacemaker when
the device is switched on.
• Do not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move the device away.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference occurs,
consult your service provider.
