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:
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 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.
