•Should always keep MWRSM more than 15 cm (6 inches) from the pacemaker when
turned on.
•Should not carry MWRSM 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, turn MWRSM off immediately.
•MWRSM may interfere with some hearing aids. If you experience interference,
consult the hearing aid manufacturer or your physician for alternatives or
remedies.
v. Other Medical Devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the device manufacturer or your physician to determine if it is adequately
shielded from radio fre- quency emissions from MWRSM.
vi. Health Care Facilities: Hospitals and health care facilities may use equipment
that is particularly sensitive to external radio frequency emissions. Turn
MWRSM off when staff or posted signs instruct you to do so.
vii. Blasting Areas and Posted Facilities: To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn off the MWRSM when in a “blasting area” or in areas
posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
5.3. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off MWRSM when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not
charge MWRSM, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire, resulting in serious injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked
clearly. Potential areas may include: fuelling areas (such as gas stations); below deck on
boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum
gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
(such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
5.4. Battery Replacement
Do not attempt to replace the rechargeable battery in MWRSM yourself. The battery
should be replaced only by SIM or an SIM Authorized Service Provider. The battery
should be recycled/disposed of thoughtfully.
