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 evalua-
tion of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers�

Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker
• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,
when it is turned ON�

identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones
