Precautions for users of implanted
cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to
digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC
(WTR), an independent research entity,
led a multidisciplinary evaluation of
the interference between portable
wireless telephones and implanted
cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration,
WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless telephones at
least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place
telephones directly
pacemaker, such as in a breast
www. pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless telephone
at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR's evaluation did not identify any
risk to bystanders with pacemakers
from other persons using wireless
telephones.
About cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make
a cordless telephone convenient
create some limitations. Telephone
calls are transmitted between the
telephone base and the cordless
handset by radio waves, so there
is a possibility that the cordless
telephone conversations
be intercepted by radio receiving
equipment within range of the
cordless handset. For this reason,
you should not think of cordless
telephone conversations as being
as private as those on corded
telephones.
• Electrical power: The telephone
base of this cordless telephone
must be connected to a working
electrical outlet.
outlet should not be controlled
by a wall switch. Calls cannot be
made from the cordless handset if
the telephone base is unplugged,
switched off or if the electrical
power is interrupted.
• Potential TV interference: Some
cordless telephones
at frequencies that may cause
interference to televisions and
wireless VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
over the interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless
telephone near or on top of a TV or
VCR. If interference is experienced,
moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR
often reduces or eliminates the
interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: Exercise
care in handling batteries in order
not to create a short circuit with
conducting material such as rings,
bracelets and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause
harm. Observe proper polarity
between the battery and the
battery charger.
• Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
could batteries: Dispose of these batteries
in a safe manner. Do not burn or
puncture the battery. Like other
batteries of this type, if burned
or punctured, they could release
caustic material which could cause
injury.
ECO mode
This power conserving technology
reduces power
The electrical optimal battery performance. The ECO
mode activities automatically whenever
the handset is synchronized with the
telephone base.
