Always maintain a distance of 15 cm (6 inches)
between the pacemaker and any mobile phone that is
turned on.
Store the phone on the opposite side of the pacemaker.
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Use the ear furthest from the pacemaker in order to
minimize any potential for interference.
If you think that interference may be occurring, turn off
the phone immediately.
For other medical devices, consult with your physician
or the manufacturer to determine if your mobile phone
may interfere with the device, and to determine any
precautions that you can take to avoid interference.
