Safety Guidelines Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers: ŹShould ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON; ŹShould not carry the phone in a breast pocket. ŹShould use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. ŹIf you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately. Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult AT&T. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Health Care Facilities Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. 89
