whether it is a hands-free or hand-held wireless phone. NHTSA advises that the “safest course of action is to refrain from using a cell phone while driving.” NHTSA’s policy on “Cell Phone Use While Driving,” as well as Frequently Asked Questions on the subject, are available at www.nhtsa.gov (click on “Traffic Safety” then on “Drowsy and Distracted Driving”).

For your well being and the well being of those around you, you should consider turning your phone off and allowing calls to go to Voice Mail while you are driving. If you choose to use your wireless phone while driving, several jurisdictions have adopted “hands-free” and other restrictions on the use of wireless devices while driving. It is your responsibility to know and to comply with the law in your area.

Implantable medical devices

A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a wireless phone and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device. Persons who have such devices:

Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical device when the wireless phone is turned ON;

Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast pocket;

Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference;

Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult your health care provider. For additional information, see http://www.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices).
