Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) Safety Information
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:
ⅷ Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned
ON.
ⅷ Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
ⅷ 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 the 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 your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
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.
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
