Switch off your phone in the hospital
Switch off your phone in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
Pacemakers and medical implants
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (USA) recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches (15 centimetres) be maintained between a handheld wireless
product and medical implants (electronic) such as a Pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the implant. These recommendations are consistent with the
international recommendations governing the usage of wireless technology.
Advisory for persons with Pacemakers:
z
ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when the phone
is turned on.
z
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
z
Preferably use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect interference is occurring, switch off your phone
immediately.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, do consult the manufacturer of the medical
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Follow mandatory signs
Always follow phone etiquette in public places. Switch off your phone where the use of
mobile phones is explicitly forbidden, as it may be a safety risk or might infringe on the
law.
