MEDICAL UNITS
The use of equipments that transmits radio signals, e.g. mobile phones, can
interfere with insufficiently protected medical apparatus. Consult a doctor or the
manufacturer of the apparatus to determine if it has adequate protection against
external radio signals, or if you have any question. Generally, you should turn
off your mobile phone anytime you’re asked to do so.
Hospitals and other health care facilities sometimes use equipment that can be
sensitive to external radio signals.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemakers manufacturers recommend a distance at least 15 cm. (6 inches)
between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid the risk of interference with
the pacemaker. These recommendations are in accordance with independent
research and recommendations from Wireless Technology Research. People
with pacemakers should:
- always keep the unit at a distance of at least 15 cm from the pacemaker
- do not carry the unit in a breast pocket
- hold the unit against the ear on the opposite side from the pacemaker to
reduce the risk of interference
If you suspect that there is a risk of interference, turn off the unit and move it
further away.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless units can cause interference to some hearing aids.
Contact your operator in case of interference.
VEHICLES
Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic
fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, and air bag systems) that
have been incorrectly installed or are inadequately protected. Contact the
manufacturer or its representative for more information about yr vehicle or any
additional equipment.
Do not keep or transport flammable liquid gases or explosives together with the
unit or its accessories. For vehicles equipped with air bags: remember that air
bags fill with air with considerable force.
Do not place objects, including fixed or portable radio equipment in the area
above the airbag or the area where it might expand. Serious injuries may be
caused if the mobile phone equipment is incorrectly installed and the airbag fills
with air.
It is forbidden to use the unit whilst flying. Turn off the unit before you board a
plane. Using wireless telecom units inside a plane can involve risk for air safety
and interfere with telecommunications. It can also be illegal.
