Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Persons with pacemakers should:

•ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.

•Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.

•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.

•Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
