Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers As-
sociation 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;
Should turn the phone OFF immediately
if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your
service provider (or call the customer service
line to discuss alternatives).

determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information.

inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of
any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.
