Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") inches
(15 cm) be maintained between a handheld 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 phone more than six inches
from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
* Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
* Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference.
* If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, turn your phone OFF 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 or call your local
Sony Ericsson Contact Center to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF 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.
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
Aircraft
• Turn off your mobile phone before boarding
any aircraft.
• To prevent interference with communication
systems, you must not use your mobile phone while
the plane is in the air.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission
from the crew.
