Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm
(6 inches) be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations

Persons with pacemakers:

should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their
