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.

information.
