Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a mobile
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear
to your pacemaker
and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce
the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics, or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical
equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to
do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must
be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic
equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of
mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an
external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or
other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling
areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted with power off “two-way radios”
or “electronic devices” notices to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
