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 your service
provider.
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
