Quick Reference
Pacemakers
It is recommended by pacemaker manufacturers that a minimum of 20cm (8 inches)
be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid any
possible 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 20cm (8 inches) from their pace-
maker when the phone is turned on
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for inter-
ference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place turn off the GSM
version immediately. This may be achieved most rapidly by switching off the device
using its on/off button.
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 supplier to discuss
solutions.
Other Medical Devices
The GSM version transmits radio frequency energy and as such has the potential to
interfere with inadequately protected medical devices. Consult your physician or the
manufacturer of the device to see if any particular device has sufficient protection.
It is good practice to completely turn off the GSM version within a hospital or other
medical facility where sensitive medical equipment is in use. In some countries, this
is a legal requirement applying to all mobile phones and related equipment.
Effect on Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles (including safety systems). 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
Switch off the GSM version in any facility where posted notices require mobile phones
to be switched off.
Potentially Hazardous Atmospheres
Do not take a GSM version into any area with a potentially hazardous atmosphere.
The GSM version is not rated for use in such environments and therefore such use
may pose a threat of explosion.
