PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 6 in (15.3 cm) be
maintained between a 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. To minimize the potential for
interference, persons with pacemakers should
•
Always keep the device more than 6 in (15.3 cm) from their pacemaker when the device
is switched on
•
Not carry the device in a breast pocket
•
Hold the device to the ear opposite the pacemaker
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your device
immediately.
