Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation
of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephon es at least six inches fr om the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telep hones directly over th e pacemaker, such as in a breas t pocket, when it
is turned ON.
Should use the wireless teleph one at the ear opposite th e pacemaker. WTR’s evaluatio n did not identify
any risk to bystanders with pace makers from other perso ns using wireless tel ephones.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using

Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance
- which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your
home or ofce.
