Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a hand
held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should always keep the phone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals
