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
