Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference
Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location
where posted notices instruct you to do so.
These locations include hospitals or health
care facilities that may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device
whenever instructed to do so by airline staff.
If your mobile device offers an airplane mode
or similar feature, consult airline staff about
using it in flight.
Pacemakers
If you have a pacemaker, consult your doctor
before using this device.
Persons with pacemakers should observe the
following precautions:
•
ALWAYS keep the mobile device more
than 20 centimetres (8 inches) from
your pacemaker when the mobile
device is turned ON.
•
DO NOT carry the mobile device in the
breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimise the potential for interference.
•
Turn OFF the mobile device
immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
Hearing Aids
Some mobile devices may interfere with
some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer or doctor to discuss
alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,
consult your doctor or the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy.
