Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six 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;
●
Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your
service provider (or call the
customer service line to discuss
alternatives.) Optional for each
phone manufacturer.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this
information.
