Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone, therefore:
 Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission.
Pacemaker
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted
equipments. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm (6 inches) should be
maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research by the Wireless Technology
Research Association.
Persons with pacemakers
 Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemakers when the phone is
switched on.
 Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
 Should use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
 If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones. In the event of such disturbance, you may want to consult
your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Aircraft
 Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
 Do not use it on the ground without crew permission.
To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use your mobile phone while the plane is in
the air.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
It is rare, but your phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas, such as petrol station, below deck 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, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas where you drive. If you are going to use
your phone while driving, please:
 Give full attention to driving.
 Use the “handsfree” setting. (Required by law in many countries).
 Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as the car stereo, safety equipment etc. In
addition, some vehicle manufacturers do not allow use of mobile phones, unless the installation is supported by a
handsfree kit with an external antenna in their vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to
be sure that your mobile phone will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.
