Handling the phone near electronic medical equipment
The following descriptions are based on the guidelines produced at the Electromagnetic Compatibility
Conference, Japan (April 1997), regarding the protection of electronic medical equipment from radio
waves emitted by mobile phone units.
If you have a heart pacemaker implanted,
keep the Digital Mova (transmission
power 0.8W) more than 22 cm away from
the heart pacemaker, or keep the PDA
(car phone) and shoulder phone
(transmission power 2.0W) more than 30
cm away from the heart pacemaker when
you use or carry it.
The radio waves may affect operation of the heart
pacemaker.
Turn off the power of the Digital Mova in
a crowded place such as in a train
because there may be a person who has
a pacemaker.
The radio waves may affect operation of the heart
pacemaker.
§
Observe the following in a health-care
facility.
• Do not bring the Digital Mova in the operating room,
ICU or CCU.
• Turn off the power of the Digital Mova in the facility.
• Even when you are in the lobby of a hospital, make a
point to turn OFF the Digital Mova if there is any
medical electric equipment in the vicinity.
• Follow the instructions of each medical facility in
terms of respective restrictions on use of mobile
phones and entry on premises carrying mobile
phones.
Consult your medical electric equipment
distributor/manufacturer for radio
frequency specifications when using
medical electric equipments other than
the implanted heart pacemaker outside a
medical facility, such as when at home.
