Important safety instructions
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 had recommended 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.
