Health and Safety Information
106
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in
force in any area and always switch off your phone
whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may
cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to
another device, read its user’s guide for detailed
safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products.
As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for
the safety of personnel, it is recommended that
the equipment should only be used in the normal
operating position (held to your ear with the
antenna pointing over your shoulder).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment are shielded
from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
Consult the manufacturer of the device to discuss
alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Health and Safety Information
107
Persons with pacemakers:
• should always keep the phone more than 15 cm
(6 inches) 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
minimise potential 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 wish to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information. 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.
