ACEMAKERS
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a hand-held 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 pacemaker 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.
