Facilities
3.3.1 Facilities
Turn off your phone in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. These facilities may include hospitals
or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
3.3.2 Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever instructed to do so
by airline staff. If your device offers a flight mode or similar
feature, consult airline staff about use in flight. If your device
offers a feature that automatically turns on the phone, then
turn off this feature before boarding an aeroplane or entering
an area where the use of wireless devices is restricted.
3.3.3 Medical Devices
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 centimetres (6 inches) be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than 15 centimetres
(6 inches) from your pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON.
• NOT carry the phone in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the
potential for interference.
• Turn OFF the phone immediately if you have any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place.
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 manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your doctor may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.
