Pacemakers

The Health Industry

Manufacturers Association

recommends that a minimum

separation of six (’) inches

be maintained between a

handheld wireless phone

and a pacemaker to avoid

potential interference

with the pacemaker.

These recommendations

are consistent with the

independent research by and

recommendations of Wireless

Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:

Should ALWAYS keep the

phone more than six inches

from their pacemaker when

the phone is turned ON;
Should not carry the phone in

a breast pocket.
Should 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.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones

may interfere with some

hearing aids. In the event of

such interference, you may

want to consult AT&T.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal

medical device, consult the

manufacturer of your device to

determine if they are adequately

shielded from external RF

energy. Your physician may be

able to assist you in obtaining

this information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in

health care facilities when any

regulations posted in these

areas instruct you to do so.
