However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the
RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a hand-
held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference

independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
If you have a pacemaker:
