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.
