Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless devices):

Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless devices and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless devices at least six inches from the pacemaker.

Should NOT place wireless devices directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless devices.

The RBRC® seal

The RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech Communications, Inc. is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives, when taken out of service within the United States and Canada.

The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-metal hydride batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which may be illegal in your area.

VTech’s participation in RBRC® makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local retailers participating in the RBRC® program or at authorized VTech product service centers. Please call 1 (800) 8 BATTERYTM for information on Ni-MH battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area.
