Important Safety Information
Pacemakers:
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6
inches) be maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
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
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off the
phone of your communicator immediately.
Hearing aids:
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
Other medical devices:
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including communicators, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch
off the phone of your communicator 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 (for example 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 notices:
Switch off the phone of your communicator in any facility where posted notices so
require.
