3. Non-ionizing Radiation (exposure to Radio Frequency Signals)
Your phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends the
radio frequency (RF) signals. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your mobile phone. RF
signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Consult your vehicle manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the
vehicle.
4. Pacemakers
The Health industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches
be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. Users with pacemakers:
Always keep your phone at least 20 cm (6inches) from your pacemakers when the phone is switched
on.
Do not carry your phone in your breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemakers to minimize the potential for interference.
Switch off your phone immediately if you suspect that interference is being caused.
5. Hearing Aids
Some mobile phones, including your mobile phone, may interfere with certain hearing aids. In the
event of such interference you may consult the hearing manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
6. Other Medical Devices
If you use any other medical devices, please consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical
devices to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this information. Always check the regulations of the healthcare facilities,
which generally request that all mobiles are switched off on entry.
7. Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always turn off your phone
wherever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or danger.
8. Aircraft Safety
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your phone before boarding an
aircraft.
