Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with
pacemakers:
Should always keep the phone more than 15 cm 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 the phone
off immediately.
Areas with explosion risk
Always turn off the unit when you are in an area where there is a risk of explosion.
Follow all signs and instructions. There is a risk of explosion in places that include
areas where you are normally requested to turn off your car engine. In these areas,
sparks can cause explosion or fire which can lead to personal injury or even death.
Turn off the unit at filling stations, and any other place that has fuel pumps and
auto repair facilities.
Follow the restrictions that apply to the use of radio equipment near places where
fuel is stored and sold, chemical factories and places where blasting is in progress.
Areas with risk for explosion are often – but not always – clearly marked. This also
applies to below decks on ships; the transport or storage of chemicals; vehicles that
use liquid fuel (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder.
Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
Mobile phones use radio signals, the mobile phone network, the
terrestrial network and user-programmed functions. This means that
connection cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances. Therefore,
never rely only on a mobile phone for very important calls such as
medical emergencies.
Vehicles
Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor vehicles (for example, electronic
fuel injection, ABS brakes, automatic cruise control, air bag systems) that have been
incorrectly installed or are inadequately protected. Contact the manufacturer or its
representative for more information about your vehicle or any additional equipment.
