Pacemakers and other medical
devices
Studies have shown that there may be
a potential interaction between mobile
devices and normal pacemaker operation.
The pacemaker industry recommends
that people with pacemakers follow
these guidelines to minimise any risk of
interference with pacemaker operation:
• Always maintain a distance of 6 inches
(15 cm) between the pacemaker and
any mobile device that is turned on.
• Store the device on the opposite side
from the pacemaker. Do not carry the
device in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear farthest from the pacemaker
in order to minimise any potential for
interference.
• If you think that interference may
be occurring, turn off the device
immediately.

• For other medical devices, consult with
your physician or the manufacturer to
determine if your mobile device may
interfere with the medical device and to
determine any precautions that you can
take to avoid interference.

avoiding hearing damage

You can permanently damage your ears
and lose hearing if you listen to the device,
earbuds or headphones at high volume. The
volume is typically too loud if you cannot
hear people speaking around you. Limit the
amount of time you listen at high volume.
If you experience ringing in your ears or
muffled speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked.
avoiding repetitive motion
You may experience occasional discomfort
in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck or
other parts of your body if you perform
repetitive activities, such as typing, on the
mobile device. Take frequent breaks. If you
have discomfort while or after using the
device, stop using it and see a physician.
