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
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
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.
