Safety Guidelines

104

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the 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 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:

Ź

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than
six (6) inches from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON;

Ź

Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket;

Ź

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker
to minimize the potential for interference;

Ź

Should turn the phone OFF immediately
if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

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).

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device,
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.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may use equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
