▪ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
▪ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
Pacemakers
The Health industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Users with pacemakers:
Always keep your phone at least 20 cm (6inches) from your pacemakers when
the phone is switched on.
Do not carry your phone in your breast pocket.
Use the ear opposite the pacemakers to minimize the potential for interference.
Switch off your phone immediately if you suspect that interference is being
caused.
Hearing Aids
Some mobile phones, including your mobile phone, may interfere with certain
hearing aids. In the event of such interference you may consult the hearing
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other medical devices, please consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical devices to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining
this information. Always check the regulations of the healthcare facilities, which
generally request that all mobiles are switched off on entry.
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always turn
off your phone wherever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Aircraft Safety
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch off your
phone before boarding an aircraft.
