independent research by and recommendations of
wireless technology research.
•
Always keep the pocket phone more than six
inches from the pacemaker whenever the
battery is in the pocket phone.
•
Do not carry the pocket phone in a breast
pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, take the battery out of your phone
immediately.

Hearing Aid Compatibility

Most electronic equipment, such as equipment in
hospitals, is shielded from RF energy. However, RF
energy from wireless telephones may affect some
electronic equipment.
Although the DEFINITY Wireless Business System
pocket telephone is compatible with inductively
coupled hearing aids, you should consult your
physician or hearing aid manufacturer to
determine if your hearing aid is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. The operation of
inadequately shielded medical devices may be
adversely affected when a portable wireless
telephone is operating in close proximity.
