Safety in Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. If your device offers a ‘flight
mode’ or similar feature, consult airline staff as to its use in flight.
Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipement.
Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics, or healthcare facilitlies.
These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipement.
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment. When installed adjacent to
other equipment, it is advised to verify that the adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless
device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when turned ON.
•
Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
•
Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
•
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other Medical Devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if the operation of your wireless
product may interfere with the medical device.
