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 recommends 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.
About cordless telephones
· Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base
and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the
cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving
equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should
not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on
corded telephones.
· Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be
connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be
controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if
the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is
interrupted.
· Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone
near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the
cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR often reduces or eliminates
the interference.
· Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to
create a short circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets and
keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper
polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
· Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a
safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this
type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could
cause injury.
ECO mode
This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery
performance. The ECO mode activities automatically whenever the handset is
synchronized with the telephone base.

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique uniquement aux téléphones numériques
sans fil): L’organisme `Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de
recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des
interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs
cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des
aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux
médecins:
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
· Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces
du stimulateur cardiaque. · Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil
directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise,
lorsque celui-ci est en
marche. · Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur
l’oreille qui se trouve dans la direction opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les
détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent un
téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
À propos des téléphones sans fil
· Alimentation électrique: Les mêmes caractéristiques qui constituent des
avantages pour les téléphones sans fil affichent également des restrictions.
Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre le combiné sans fil et le socle
par le biais d’ondes radio ; il y a donc la possibilité que vos conversations
téléphoniques sans fil soient interceptées par des équipements de réception
radio se trouvant dans la portée du combiné sans fil. Pour cette raison, vous
ne devez pas percevoir les communications téléphoniques sans fil comme étant
aussi confidentielles.
· Alimentation électrique: Le socle de ce téléphone sans fil doit être branché
à une prise électrique fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être
contrôlée par un interrupteur mural. Les appels ne pourront pas être effectués
du combiné sans fil si le socle est débranché ou mis hors tension ou si le
courant est coupé.
· Possibilité d’interférences aux téléviseurs: Certains téléphones sans fil
fonctionnent sur des fréquences pouvant causer des interférences aux
téléviseurs et aux magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou prévenir de telles
interférences, ne placez pas le socle du téléphone sans fil près ou sur un
téléviseur ou magnétoscope. S’il y a présence de parasites, il est conseillé
d’éloigner le téléphone sans fil du téléviseur ou du magnétoscope afin de
réduire possiblement les interférences.
· Piles rechargeables: Manipulez les piles avec soin afin de ne pas les court-
circuiter avec des bagues, bracelets ou clés. Les piles ou le conducteur peut
surchauffer et causer des blessures. Respectez la polarité adéquate entre la
pile et le chargeur.
· Les bloc-piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel: Jetez ces
blocs-piles de manière écologique et sécuritaire. Ne les incinérez pas et ne
les percez pas. Tel que les autres piles de ce type, elles pourraient dégager
une matière toxique qui peut causer des blessures corporelles si elles sont
brûlées ou percées.
