Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission.
Pacemaker
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipments. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm
(6 inches) should be maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent
research by the Wireless Technology Research Association.
Persons with pacemakers
Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemakers when the phone is
switched on.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone
immediately.
Hearing aids
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones. In the event of such disturbance, you may
want to consult your Operator, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Aircraft
Please comply with the Airline regulation.
To prevent interference with the aircraft communication systems you must switch off your
mobile phone while the plane is in the air.
