242 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to
do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane
mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in
flight.
Implantable Medical Devices
A minimum separation of six (6) inches should be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and an implantable medical
device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential interference with the device.
Persons who have
such devices:
ⅷ Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from
their implantable medical device when the phone is turned
ON;
ⅷ Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
ⅷ Should use the ear opposite the implantable medical device
to minimize the potential for interference;
ⅷ Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that the interference is taking place.
ⅷ Should read and follow the directions from the manufacturer
of the implantable medical device. If you have any questions
about using your wireless phone with such a device, consult
your health care provider.
