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).

Potentially Hazardous 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 Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. If your device offers a 'flight mode' or similar feature, consult airline staff as to its use in flight.

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.

Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment.

Wireless devices should be switched off wherever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics, or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

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.

Other Medical Devices

Consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
