not be shielded against the
RF signals from your wireless
phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry
Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6’) inches
be maintained between a
handheld 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 service
provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF
energy.
