Warnings for Use of Wireless Devices
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless
devices.
Potetially Hazerdous Atmospheres - Fixed Installations
You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in
fuel depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders)
.
Safety in Hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical
electrical equipment. When installed adjacent to other equipment, it is
advised to verify that the adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be
maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when turned ON.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF
your device.
