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 rec-
ommendations are consistent with the independent research
by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

If you have a pacemaker:
l ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
l Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
l Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
l If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
