Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should
be main tained between a wireless phone and an
implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the device.
Persons who have such devices:
• Should ALWAYS keep the wireless phone more than
six (6) inches from their implantable medical device
when the wireless phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the wireless phone in a breast
pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical
device to minimize the potential for interference;
• Should turn the wireless phone OFF immediately if
there is any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
• Should read and follow the directions from the
manufacturer of your implantable medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless
phone with such a device, consult your health care
provider.
