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 wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to con-
sult your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including
cellular phones, may interfere with the functionality of inade-
quately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are ad-
equately 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 (e.g. 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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially ex-
plosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
