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 recommends to physicians that:
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.
• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers
from other persons using wireless telephones.
About cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient
create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the
telephone base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there
is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations could be
intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless
handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone
conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
