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.
Never come closer than six (6) inches to a person with a heart
pacemaker implant when using your device. Doing so could result in
interference with the function of the pacemaker.
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.
Note This is not necessary if the device is not held to the ear.
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.

Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices”.
