82 Additional information
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some
implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be
aware that the use of a mobile phone very close to a
pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction. Avoid
placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker, e.g., in
your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone, place
it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum
distance of 15 cm (6’’ inches) is kept between the mobile
phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is
limited. If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, immediately turn off your
mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for more
information.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn your mobile 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
inthe air.
•Do not use it on the ground without permission from
thecrew.
BLASTING AREAS
•Turn off your mobile phone when in a blasting area or in
areas posted “turn off two-way radio” to avoid interfering
with blasting operations. Construction crews often use
remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your mobile phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your
mobile phone or its accessories could generate sparks.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
fuelling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,
ormetal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the same compartment of your vehicle that
contains your mobile phone and accessories.
POWER SUPPLY
•Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power
sources as marked on the product.
•To reduce risk of damage to the electric cord, remove
itfrom the outlet by holding onto the AC adapter rather
than the cord.
