Do not point the infrared beam at anyone’s eye or allow it to interfere with
other infrared devices.

Should always keep the communicator more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on;
Should not carry the communicator in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for in-
