Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your satellite phone.
Please take all reasonable precautions to reduce possible interference.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a wireless phone’s antenna
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when phone is turned ON
•
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect
interference is taking place
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Aircraft
Consult the local Aviation Authority for guidelines on use of the equipment on
board an aircraft.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. Possible sparks from the system plugs / sockets (when plugging in whilst
switch is on) in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death. They include, but are not limited to: fueling areas such as gasoline
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas
where fuel odors are present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a car or
home); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders; and any other area where you normally would be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine
