Safety Guidelines
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld 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 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker
when the phone 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.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the
