Section 4A: Safety Guidelines

125

Always secure the device in its holder, because metallic materials may be attracted by
the earpiece. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the
device, because information stored on them may be erased.

Medical Devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult a
physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch off
your phone 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

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance of 15.3 cm be maintained between a
hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

䢇

Should always keep the phone at least 15.3 cm from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned on

䢇

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket

䢇

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference

䢇

Should turn off the phone immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals.
However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic
equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference
with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the
plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit
using your phone while the plane is in the air. Follow all restrictions.
