The Advanced Medical Technology Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (15
cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and
a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by, and recommendations of the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than six inches (15 cm)

from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.

• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the

potential for interference.

• Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to

suspect that interference is taking place.

Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately

shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the
area where you drive. Always obey them. When using your
radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a

call if driving conditions so require.

Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or
in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be
propelled with great force and cause serious injury to
occupants of the vehicle.

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type
especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically
