Health and Safety Information
141
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
● Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your
first responsibility.
● Use hands-free operation, if available.
● Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends
that a minimum separation of six (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 phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the pacemaker is turned 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, turn your phone OFF 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 (or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives.) Optional for each phone
manufacturer.
