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.
Note: The CareLine
TM transmitter is a wireless telephone, and it should not be used
in the pendant form (hanging from a necklace over the heart) by persons wearing
pacemakers. Pacemaker patients should use the CareLine TM product in belt-clip
form only.
Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset/pendant and telephone
base can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations
of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays
Out of range OR Base no power.
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 press
. Move closer to the telephone base, then press
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.
ECO mode
This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery
performance. The ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is
synchronized with the telephone base.
