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

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
Are you a new cable or VoIP subscriber?
If your answer is yes, the existing telephone jacks
in your home may no longer work. Your cable/VoIP
service provider uses a different connection, separate
from your old traditional telephone service, to connect
the modem/router/terminal adapter installed in your
home.
To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, contact
your telephone service provider for solutions, such as
rewiring services (fees may apply).
If your answer is no, your existing telephone jacks
will continue to work as normal.
Did you subscribe to voicemail service
from your telephone service provider?
Some telephone service providers bundle or combine
multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so
you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To
check what services you have and how to access
them, contact your telephone service provider.
Use the voicemail service only
To use your voicemail service rather than your
answering system, turn off your answering system.
Use the answering system only
To use your answering system rather than your
voicemail service, contact your telephone service
provider to deactivate your voicemail service.
Use the answering system and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering system
and voicemail together by setting your built-in
answering system to answer before voicemail
answers as described below. To learn how to program
your voicemail settings, contact your telephone
service provider.
If you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy
recording a message and you receive another call,
the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least
two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer.
For example, if your voicemail answers after six
rings, set your answering system to answer after four
rings. Some voicemail providers may program the
delay before answering calls in seconds instead of
rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when
determining the appropriate setting.
IMPORTANT
puncture the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if
burned or punctured, they could release caustic material
which could cause injury.
