Pacemaker
If your portable wireless phone is too close to a pacemaker, the
phone’s RF energy may interfere with the pacemaker’s operation.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the wireless
technology research community recommend that you follow these
guidelines to minimize the potential for interference.
■ Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters)
away from your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
■ Do not carry your phone near your heart, such as a
breastpocket.
■ Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
■ If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone off immediately.
