Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15,3 cm (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 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the
device is switched on;
• not carry the device in a breast pocket; and
• 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 .
