Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers: wireless phones, when in
the ‘on’ position, have been shown to interfere with pacemakers. The
phone should be kept at least six (6) inches away from the pacemaker to
reduce risk. The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the
wireless technology research community recommend that you follow
these guidelines to minimize the potential for interference.
• Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters) away from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn
off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
service provider or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
