Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) 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 centimeters) 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 minimize the potential for
interference.
•
turn the Personal Communicator OFF immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
