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 the wireless telephone 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 wireless mics

• Privacy: The same features that make a wireless mic convenient create some limitations. Calls on conference phones are transmitted between the base unit and the wireless mic by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the wireless mic conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the wireless mic. For this reason, you should not think of conference phone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
• Electrical power: The base unit of this conference phone 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 conference phone if the base unit is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.
•   Potential TV interference: Wireless mic operates at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the base unit near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the wireless mic 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.
• Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries : Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
