PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of six
inches (20 cm) 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 6 inches (20 cm) from their
pacemakers when the phone is switched on
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
•
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference
