Medical Devices
Pacema kers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association recommends that
a minimum separation of 6 inches (15centimeters) be
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by, and recommendations of, the United
States Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches
(15centimeters) from your pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON.
• NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
• use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
• turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
