Safety 10
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 safely 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 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:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned on.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise 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 hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult 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 health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before
boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
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.
