As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for
the safety of personnel, it is recommended that
the equipment should only be used in the normal
operating position (held to your ear with the
antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your mobile phone.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (20 cm) be
maintained between a hand-held mobile phone
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 6
inches (20 cm) from their pacemaker when
the phone is switched on.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast
Pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite 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 digital mobile phones may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your
service provider.
Other Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including cellular phones, may interfere with the
functionality of inadequately protected medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if
you have any questions. Switch off your phone
in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles (for example, electronic fuel
injection systems, electronic anti-skid (anti-lock)
braking systems, electronic speed control
systems, air bag systems).
Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Switch your phone off in any facility where
posted notices so require.
