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 wireless telephones
directly over the pacemaker, such as in a
breast 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
could 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.
The electrical 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 operate at
frequencies that may cause interference
to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or
prevent such interference, do not place
the telephone base of the cordless
telephone near or on top of a TV or
