Safety Guidelines

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 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. Hospitals or health care facilities may use

equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic

systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative

regarding your vehicle.
