Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres – Fixed Installations
You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel
depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as
grain, dust, or metal powders).
Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical
equipment. When installed adjacent to other equipment, verify adjacent equipment is not
adversely affected.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches)
be maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent
research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
● Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when
turned ON.
● Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
● Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
● If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other Medical Devices. Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical
device, to determine if the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the
medical device.
