Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained
between a wireless device or 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. To minimize the potential for interference, persons
with pacemakers should:
• Always keep the phone more than 15.3 centimeters
(6 inches) from their pacemaker.
• Not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Hold the phone to the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
If you suspect interference, switch off your phone and move
the phone away.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing
aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.
