These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

•ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.

•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.
