154 Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
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 an Ericsson Vehicle Handsfree Solution, if available. Law in many
countries requires vehicle Handsfree Solution. Read the installation
instructions carefully before installing a vehicle Handsfree Solution.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as 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 manu-
facturer's representative to be sure that your mobile phone will not affect the
electronic systems in your vehicle.
Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the
air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in hospitals and
cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is
not, therefore:
• Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting
permission.
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemak-
ers and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be
aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a pacemaker might cause
the device to malfunction. Avoid placing the phone over the pacemaker, i.e. in
your breast pocket. When using the phone, place it at your ear opposite the
pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm is kept between the phone and the
pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to sus-
pect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your phone.
Contact your cardiologist for more information.
