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.
For C-UL compliance only

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.
