USER GUIDE
Version 1.0
2.10. Cardiac Pacemakers, Implanted Defibrillators & Other
medical implant devices
It is possible that some datacards may interfere with some types of
pacemakers or implanted defibrillators when operated close to the
implanted device. You should seek advice from your doctor that is
specific to the implant before using the datacard. Health authorities in
many countries have set up advisory services for medical devices and
implants including providing advice about maintaining separation
distance between datacards or other radio frequency equipment and the
implant. Option operating companies reflect the advice given by their
relevant health authority or national advisory service and / or as a
minimum indicate a separation distance of at least
0
cm between
datacards or other radio frequency equipment and the embedded device.
2.11. Hearing devices
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience
interfering noises when using mobile devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of datacard, the type of
hearing device and the distance between the two. Increasing the
distance between the datacard and hearing device may reduce
interference.
2.12. Children
Do not allow children to play with your datacard. They could hurt
themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the datacard. Your
datacard also contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an
injury or which could become detached and create a choking hazard.
