These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of wireless technology research.
•Always keep the pocket phone more than six inches from the pacemaker whenever the battery is in the pocket phone.
•Do not carry the pocket phone in a breast pocket.
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, take the battery out of your phone immediately.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
Most electronic equipment, such as equipment in hospitals, is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from wireless telephones may affect some electronic equipment.
Although the DEFINITY Wireless Business System pocket telephone is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids, you should consult your physician or hearing aid manufacturer to determine if your hearing aid is adequately shielded from external RF energy. The operation of inadequately shielded medical devices may be adversely affected when a portable wireless telephone is operating in close proximity.
