Section 13: Health and Safety Information 165
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for the
satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the equipment should only be
used in the normal operating position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing
over your shoulder).
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches)
be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•
should always keep the phone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker
when the phone is switched on.
•
should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•
should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch your
phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, 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. Switch 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.
