Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained between a handheld wireless mobile device and an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device. Persons who have such devices:
•Should ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than six (6) inches from their implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON;
•Should not carry the mobile device in a breast pocket;
•Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the potential for interference;
•Should turn the mobile device OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place;
