This section is based on "Guidelines on the Use of Radio
Communications Equipment such as Cellular Telephones
and Safeguards for Electronic Medical Equipment"
(Electromagnetic Compatibility Conference, April 1997)
and "Report of Investigation of the Effects of Radio Waves
on Medical Equipment, etc." (Association of Radio
Industries and Businesses, March 2001).
If you use an implantable cardiac pacemaker or
cardioverter defibrillator, keep handset more than
22 cm away from the implant at all times.
Handset radio waves may affect implantable cardiac
pacemaker or cardioverter defibrillator operations.
Observe the following in medical facilities.
• Do not take handset into operating rooms, Intensive
Care Units or Coronary Care Units.
• Turn off handset inside hospital wards.
• Turn off handset even outside hospital wards (in
hospital lobbies, etc.); electronic medical equipment
may be in use nearby.
• Where a medical facility has specific instructions
prohibiting the carrying and use of mobile phones,
observe those instructions strictly.
Warning
Turn off handset in crowded places such as rush
hour trains; implantable cardiac pacemakers or
cardioverter defibrillators may be in use nearby.
Handset radio waves may affect implantable cardiac
pacemaker or cardioverter defibrillator operations.
Persons using electronic medical equipment
outside medical facilities should consult the
vendor about possible radio wave effects.
