Precautions for users of implanted cardiac
pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital
cordless devices):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR),
an independent research entity, led a
multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference
between portable wireless devices and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR
recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless devices at least six
inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless devices directly
over the pacemaker, such as in a breast
pocket, when it is turned ON.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk
to bystanders with pacemakers from other
persons using wireless devices.

contre les sources d’humidité, la poussière,
les vapeurs et les liquides corrosifs.
7. Le boîtier de l’appareil est doté de fentes
et d’ouvertures d’aération situées à
l’arrière ou en dessous. Afin d’empêcher la
surchauffe, ces ouvertures ne doivent pas
être obstruées en plaçant l’appareil sur un
lit, divan, tapis ou autre surface similaires.
Ne placez pas cet appareil à proximité d’un
élément de chauffage ni d’une plinthe
électrique. De plus, ne l’installez pas dans
une unité murale ou un cabinet fermé qui ne
possède pas d’aération adéquate.
8. Ne faites fonctionner cet appareil
qu’avec le type d’alimentation indiqué
sur les étiquettes de l’appareil. Si vous

les piles. Celles-ci risqueraient d’exploser.
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
Pile
• MISE EN GARDE: Afin de prévenir les risques
d’incendie ou d’explosion de la pile, replacez
la pile avec une pile du même type.
• Jetez les piles épuisées en respectant les
instructions.
• Le bloc-piles ne doit pas être exposé la
chaleur excessive telle que la lumièêre du
soleil ou au feu.

les piles afin d’éviter les courts-circuits
provoqués par des matériaux conducteurs.
Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans
l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique
uniquement aux téléphones numériques sans
fil) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research,
LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche
indépendante, a mené une évaluation
pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les
téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs
cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme.
Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et
drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR
recommande aux médecins :
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
• Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil
au moins six pouces du simulateur cardiaque.
• Ils ne doivent PAS placer les dispositifs sans
fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque,
tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque
celui-ci est en marche.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a
pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de
simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui
utilisent un téléphone sans fil à proximité de
ceux-ci.
