Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimetres) be maintained between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by,
and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the Personal Communicator more than six inches
(15 centimetres) from their pacemaker when the Personal
Communicator is turned ON.
•
Not carry the Personal Communicator in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for
interference.
•
Turn the Personal Communicator OFF immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
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.
