Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) 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 (6”) 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.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission
from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the
ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit
using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone
when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating that
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use
remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone or its
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could cause an explosion
or a fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
ᮣ Fueling areas such as gas stations.
ᮣ Below deck on boats.
ᮣ Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
