Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed)
recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15
centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio
and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters)
from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
Use of communication devices while driving
Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in
the areas where you drive.
• Give full attention to driving and to the road.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if
driving conditions or regulations so require.
