Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your communicator.
Pacemakers: Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a hand-held wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential 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 communicator more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on;
Should not carry the communicator in a breast pocket;
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for in-

terference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
the phone of your communicator immediately.
Hearing aids: Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider.
Other medical devices: Operation of any radio transmitting equipment,
including communicators, 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 the
phone of your communicator 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.
Vehicles: RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles (e.g. electronic fuel injection systems,
electronic anti-skid (anti-lock) braking systems, electronic speed control
systems, air bag 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 phone of your communicator in any facility
where posted notices so require.
