Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): 
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led 
a  multidisciplinary  evaluation  of  the  interference  between  portable  wireless 
telephones  and  implanted  cardiac  pacemakers.  Supported  by  the  U.S.  Food 
and Drug Administration, WTR had recommended to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
•  Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
•  Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as 
in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
•  Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from 
other persons using wireless phones.
