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.

Operating range

The cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so,

the cordless handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the

telephone base, cordless handset, the weather, and the layout of the hotel.

When the cordless handset is out of range while on a call, the cordless handset rapidly beeps three times.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not connect well when you answer

the call. Move closer to the telephone base to answer the call.

If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference.

To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.

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.

Network wall jack: The telephone base of the cordless telephone must be connected to a working network wall jack with

Power over Ethernet (PoE). Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off.

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.
