SAFETY INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS
HANDHELD PHONES
135134
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld
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 :
l ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from your
pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
l Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
l Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
l If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.
PACEMAKERS
If you use any other personal medical device, consult with the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in healthcare facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or healthcare facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
OTHER MEDICAL DEVICES
Turn your phone OFF where posted notices so require.
POSTED FACILITIES
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
OTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES
FCC and Transport Canada Regulations prohibit using your phone while
in the air. Turn your phone OFF before boarding an aircraft.
AIRCRAFT
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in
a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all
signs and instructions.
BLASTING AREAS
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas
stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
