Pacemakers
To avoid potential interference, the Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
If you have a pacemaker:
• Always keep your phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when turned on.
• Do not carry your phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone off immediately.

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 external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone off in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
