18.5 Pacemaker
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend a distance
of at least 15 cm. between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid the risk of interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations
are in accordance with independent research
and recommendations from Wireless Technology
Research. People with pacemakers should:
• not carry the unit in a breast pocket
• hold the unit against the ear on the opposite
side from the pacemaker to reduce the risk of
interference
If you suspect that there is a risk of interference,
turn off the unit and move it further away.
18.6 Hearing aids
Some digital wireless units can cause interference
to some hearing aids.
18.7 Vehicles
Radio signals can affect electronic systems in motor
vehicles (e.g. 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.
For vehicles equipped with air bags: remember that
air bags ll with air with considerable force.
Do not place objects, including xed or portable
radio equipment in the area above the airbag or the
area where it might expand. Serious injuries may be
caused if the mobile phone equipment is incorrectly
installed and the airbag lls with air.
