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.
Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and
telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can
vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather,
and the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays Out of range OR
No pwr at base.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does
ring, the call may not connect well when you press /FLASH. Move closer to
the telephone base, then press /FLASH to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation,
there may be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the
telephone base.
