action is to refrain from using a cell phone while driving.” NHTSA’s policy on “Cell Phone Use While
Driving,” as well as Frequently Asked Questions on the subject, are available at www.nhtsa.gov (click

For your well being and the well being of those around you, you should consider turning your phone

phone while driving, several jurisdictions have adopted “hands-free” and other restrictions on the use
of wireless devices while driving. It is your responsibility to know and to comply with the law in your
area.

Implantable medical devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a wireless phone and an
implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid
potential interference with the device. Persons who have such devices:
• Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical
device when the wireless phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for
interference;
• Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place.
• Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult your health
care provider. For additional information, see http://www.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index,
select Cell Phones > Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices).
